th...i definitely agree you can train your child. <br /><br />that being said, i fully believe some kids just have major sleep issues. i've read 5 different books on sleep, done CIO for weeks and weeks and weeks with no result [i mean 3 weeks into "training" he was still crying for over 2 hours at every wakeup]. then you talk to friends who say their kid slept through the night from 10 days old. blah blah. i'm tired. nothing is working. <br /><br />but he's almost potty trained. so that is a plus. <br /><br />LOL. so tired.basebell6https://www.blogger.com/profile/12476758880824912257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399720861396381975.post-45101235464395274132012-01-05T17:43:02.939-07:002012-01-05T17:43:02.939-07:00I love your post, however, I have news for you, yo...I love your post, however, I have news for you, you discipline your son, even if that's not what you call it. <br /><br />When he doesn't get dessert because he doesn't eat enough, that is discipline. It is done out of love and it is a cause and effect.<br /><br />Again, I love your posts!Triple Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01971703731523187983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399720861396381975.post-21286604555083960022012-01-05T16:14:59.253-07:002012-01-05T16:14:59.253-07:00I agree as well that children can be trained.

Luckily though I never had to sleep train Tristan, he's been sleeping through the night since about 5 months. Before then he'd sleep about 6-7hours at night before waking up and he's had a bedtime 7-8pm since he was 6 months.Karen6789https://www.blogger.com/profile/07430105814522017240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399720861396381975.post-62578460952697282882012-01-05T15:22:20.095-07:002012-01-05T15:22:20.095-07:00Yes, i believe a child can be trained! OMG if that...Yes, i believe a child can be trained! OMG if that wasn't true then we'd all have crazies for kids! I mean to a certain point though. Not everything is "trainable" but, yes lots of things are. I have to agree with you! You can't let a child run you, once that starts happening. Goodbye to any kind of life and relationship with your husband!

All my friends/family who have multiples have trained their children...I don't see any other way around it???<br /><br />The spanking thing....we haven't reached that stage...I do NOT believe in it, Jay was raised with spanking and feels that it "worked" for him as a kid...so I figure if he feels strongly about it when the time comes, it's going to be a "Daddy" thing to do, Mommy isn't participating! I can't see Jay actually winding up to hit our kids (because in my mind, that's what spanking is - hitting)...but I guess we'll see, I'm leaving it up to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399720861396381975.post-90465989447977802252012-01-05T14:08:51.324-07:002012-01-05T14:08:51.324-07:00Sleep training!! Amen! I have 3 2 year olds who ...Sleep training!! Amen! I have 3 2 year olds who sleep the same 12 hrs at night & the same 2 hours each afternoon. There were some points in transition stages that it got tough to keep it that way. But we "trained" the heck out of them!! CIO gave our family sleep, sanity & the ability to be awake, engaged, fun, active parents!<br /><br />We are working on training to pick up. We do timeouts & working on "appoligizing" AKA hugging our sibling to say sorry after a timeout for toys stealing/hitting/etc. <br /><br />Heck, if we can't train kids... why do they call it POTTY TRAINING!! <br /><br />If you ever come up with a way to train a kid to sit still though, I'd LOVE to hear how!!<br /><br />I'm surprised at your "I won't spank" but "its up to J." I just kind of pictures families as being one way or another. Like you saying Jay better not spank or else. I'm not a spanker as it being the form of dicipline, but as a quick attention grabber to say "HEY you need to listen & listen NOW!" Followed up as needed with a timeout & a conversation about what was done wrong. Even that happens few & far between.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382510534747063265noreply@blogger.com
