training
“It’s not the dog’s fault... they need consistent exercise, discipline, and affection.”
“Your dog will mirror your energy and state of mind.”
“Calm and assertive. Calm and assertive.”
“After correction you need to follow through.”
Cesar Milan- The Dog Whisperer
Hmmmmmm....perhaps Cesar Milan's advise is just as congruent with parenting as The Super Nanny's.
It’s still amazing that, in the course of my day, my ability to see any task (from pouring a glass of water or folding laundry to completing a bowel movement) through to completion without interruption is impossible.
There are two other things that never cease to amaze me are:
1. Driving slowly in the left lane is not considered a moving violation and grounds for immediate impound of the driver’s vehicle.
If you’re driving in the left lane and you can travel at the same speed one lane to your right… then please move over. The left lane really is supposed to be the passing lane.
and
2. Parents training their children to mind them only when they are screaming out of utter frustration.
If you calmly tell your child to stop doing something or there will be some consequence… and they don’t stop immediately…then bring on the damn consequence!... regardless of how inconvenient it might be.
