Today while flipping through a copy of Reader’s Digest, I came across a comment by Reese Witherspoon about respecting your kids.
That evening I tried it out with Wolf. When he misbehaved, I took him aside and told him not to do it again and amazingly he obeyed!
He went back and apologised and promised not to do it again very contritely.
The point was to not humiliate him in front of others and he really appreciated that.
Thanks Reese for the helpful advice!
Mephala is a strange and rather interesting

Yes, I try to remember not to reprimand Gavin in front of others, too. Usually take him aside and have a talk to him quietly about it.

That’s a good practice. I should remember to do it all the time. I know he appreciates it.

That’s great advice!

Yeah. I always thought Reese Witherspoon was a hands-on kind of mom. Very strict but attentive.
