Disciplene

After watching an episode of Super Nanny (with Jo, NOT Nanny 911), I tried some direct discipline with Henry to address his climbing on the dog.

I tried stopping him with direct eye contact, a slowly spoken, yet firm voice, and a couple time-outs where I took him out of the room and told him he was not allowed to climb on Vegas. It was a lot of attention on the situation, but I think I got somewhere.

Now, if only I could remember to follow it up the next day?

Leash part 2

Using the leash has continued to be great. I'm writing about it again because I had two extra thoughts to put down:

1) Having your child hold your hand is hard on their arm/body. They are so much shorter, they have to really reach up to hold your hand.

2) Having your child ride around in a stroller is not good for their health. They need to be walking around to drain energy and experience their environment.
