I came upon this today when I googled "patience with 3 and 5 yr. old boys". I'm desperate!
Being a mother of three young boys, I have learned that patience is a tool I use most. A lot of moms use specific techniques that may last for a short time but I believe parenting needs more creativity. I think if you pretend tons of people are watching you, you learn to be more patient than ever, and you create a fix for the problem at hand. It may be just hugging your son at that moment, or changing the subject, or singing a silly song really loud. With patience, you are able to think of a quick fix. I have heard the saying, "Dance like no one is watching." My saying is, "Parent like everyone is watching."

That's an awesome idea! Don't know if I could do that though. But I sure would like to try.
I don't give a smokin' gun who is watching, I say "go out in that there tree and pick your switch, cuz you're a gonna get it!", just like my mama used to tell me. That is the way parenting was done and should be done! None of that horse dallying around.
Ok, she is right, back to my senses :)
It was great to see you last night, Jenni! How did Holden's second day of school go?
