From now on I am going to react to the little Younger Boy with the following words.  "Please use your Big Boy Words and Feelings to tell me what you need".

It isn't going unnoticed on me that many people use this with their toddlers.  That is where we are.

Stomping...what is that feeling?
Crying...what is that feeling?
Helplessness...what is the feeling?

What do you need?  Use words not behaviors.

If we can get past this...AND WE CAN...this will be HUGE.

Pray for us.
