Your post has really got me thinking about the way I deal with my kids and even how I deal with my husband. Thanks for a great read and giving me something to think about.

That makes totaly sense. I really am glad you made me more aware of my responses. I dont want to invalidate my kids feelings like that...but per your examples, I have TOTALLY done that. I am going to add your book suggestion to my list maybe my library will have it someday! Mindy Huh. That makes totaly sense.

I don't know how often I do it, but I see myself in some of these responses, and that's just not fair to my child. This is a well-written post, thank you for this. I will be more aware of my words moving forward, to be certain to be empathetic, rather than brushing things aside simply because she's a child. thank you! Yikes, this post hits home for me.

I'm curious what part doesn't apply to a 2 year old. I have had a few 2 year olds in my parenting life and I have done what Dionna is recommending in her blog post. I'm not perfect at it. I've done the more subtle denial of feelings. I've tried to assuage hurt feelings when my child just needed to get them out. But overall, I feel I do a decent job of being empathetic and validating to my children's emotions at all ages and it's always found a place.

I've noticed the more I say yes to my girls, and the more I really do listen to them, and consider their feelings, the happier we all are. It's when I start with no you can't do this, or have that that they get in a funk, and so do I. I have meaning to get my hands on that book.

I am still parenting in a way that has worked for me. I dont really need want to argue cause what happened last time. I dont think that you are understanding that this just dosnt apply to a TWO year old. Anyway there will be a good show on today about breastfeeding on the Doctors. Have a nice day.
