awesome parenting adive

Have you heard of Positive Parenting Solutions?! You should check out there awesome variety of parenting advice ... or should I say reminders!

There are so many things that I end up saying or doing in the course of a day that are just a routine habit or what I remember my parents saying and doing. Just stuff I remember, not necessarily taught, but stuff like adding "OK?" to what I'm telling S and Z. Or like making sure both kids are "entertained" from sun up to sun down, and then some!

I don't know how it happens, but it does and a post on Facebook from Positive Parenting Solutions with great video from World Economic Forum made me stop and I wanted to share. Why Being Bored is Good for Children, is the post and video that halted my scrolling! As I sit here writing, that is exactly what S is doing upstairs {and who knows what other shinanigans!} and that's OK with me, so after reading that post I'm glad to have been 'reminded' that it's good for kids to get bored!

Everyday there is a span of time that S is by himself so I can get a few things accomplished, and sometimes I do feel bad that I'm not right next to him playing along, but most days it is so fun to listen to him playing by himself! He sings, does character voices for his cars, pretends his stuffies are flying in space, talks to Alfie {Alfie is awesome, and we will get to that another time!}, pretends the floor is hot lava, the list goes on!

So I know I'm doing something right! It's nice to have a pat on the back!
