Fired up for behavior modification!

As most of you know Kevin and I have been big supporters of the Babywise parenting philosophy even before we had Cavender. Although we have adapted and adjusted some of the ideas to better fit our personalities, the Babywise concepts have served as the foundation for our parenting.

So when Cavender recently began her tantrums and tirades we turned to our faithful guide (after we recovered from the shock of her behavior!). Onto book 3... or is it 4?

Kevin, now being the reader in the family, has already finished the book and has written out a list of areas we need to improve in our communication with Cavender. I am a little behind but so far completely agree with him in the areas where we need to make our 'next steps'. Just when I seem to think we have it all figured out Cavender always sets me straight by immediately entering into a new development phase.

Couch Time, Reduction of Decision Making Freedoms, and Direct Verbal Commands... here we come!

Let the adventure begin!
