Comments on: The Mom Who Cried Wolf! https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-mom-who-cried-wolf/ Faith, Family and Home Education Fri, 05 Feb 2016 21:19:25 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Sarah https://www.trueaimeducation.com/the-mom-who-cried-wolf/#comment-2897 Sun, 13 Oct 2013 16:32:56 +0000 https://trueaimeducation.com/2012/05/15/the-mom-who-cried-wolf/#comment-2897 I agree. It’s something I grew up knowing from my own mother, who NEVER once “cried wolf”. She meant what she said and we KNEW it. Because of that, I do my best to mean what I say with my own kids.

Also, it causes you to THINK before you say the consequence. Pick your battles.

My mom reminds me of the time I wanted to take a toy to church and she said no. It was a day I decided to throw a fit about it. She never backed down and ended up staying home with me because of my attitude. She has told me she wished she had just said yes the first time, but if she backed down after saying no, it would give me the wrong idea that I have some pull, and she doesn’t mean business. 😉

We are training our kids to obey immediately or not. Some people count out loud and their kids know they can do whatever they want until mom says “5”

Consistency is so important or we will never gain our children’s trust or respect. I agree with MaryAnne, I like to count to three before saying anything, then I know what I say will be truthful and followed through on. Thanks so much for linking up to The Sunday Parenting Party.

I’m good about following through when I give concrete statements, but I find myself falling into the trap of being vague. When I’m vague there isn’t a black and white time to follow through. I’m working on this! Thanks for linking up to The Sunday Showcase.
