While I was gone to Guatemala, my kids behaved exceptionally well but the week after I returned, we had issues. Anthony especially is struggling. He had all smiley faces from his teacher on his school planner while I was gone but lately the comments have been more along the lines of 'disrupting', 'not respecting the teacher', 'being defiant', etc. I was trying to positively parent this morning.
Anthony: "I was thinking about shoving Brittney because she pushed me."
Me: "You made a good choice, Anthony. You kept control of yourself and your hands and you chose not to hit her back. You did it!"
Anthony: "No. She hasn't come back upstairs yet so I haven't been able to hit her back yet."
All I can say it that at least Anthony keeps it honest.
