Okay, I never wanted to be the mom that the teacher had to keep calling because her child wouldn't mind. NEWSFLASH!!!!!! I AM THAT MOTHER!!!!!!!!! It is awful. I am so embarrassed. Caleb will not mind at school or at home. Most of you know he is four and is it possible for him to be this late on terrible two's, because man I tell ya this is hard. Caleb is testing my faith not to mention my patience everyday. I'm not sure if it is jealousy because of his two sisters or what, but I can't seem to get through to him. In all honesty, I am not sure that spanking is working for him either. I do believe in spanking your children, not that everyone should, it's just what my husband and I agree on. I might add that it has always worked for us, but for some reason it just seems to make Caleb madder ( Is that a word?) and more defiant. I am going to start trying new methods, so suggestions anyone? I am currently reading the "Strong-Will Child" by James Dobson, and "The Power of a Praying Parent", by Stormie OMartin. I know that we are going to get through this, but it is so stressful right now.
