Welcome to 31 Days of Teachable
Parenting.
The purpose of this series is
to share with others, and review for myself, what I am LEARNING about letting go
of the controlling mother role and embracing a new mindset as a parent. I put
LEARNING in all caps because I am no expert, but I will be quoting some. The
three books that I will be highlighting throughout the next 30 days are:
Love and Logic by Jim Fay and Charles Fay Ph.D
Loving our Kids On Purpose by Danny Silk
and Wild Things by Stephen James and David S. Thomas
These 3 parenting
books have absolutely revolutionized the way I interact with my children. Over
the next 30 days I plan to take this opportunity to share my thoughts and notes
with you, as well as my husband who hasn’t had a chance to read all the way through
the books. I hope you’ll join along and by all means leave a comment and let
me know that you’ve stopped by. I will definitely come and say hello on your
blog if you have one.
Tomorrow I will
have my index page and outline all mapped out so that you can see exactly what
is in store for the messymom.com this month. I will also answer any questions
to the best of my ability. As hard as it may be, I look forward to stretching myself in the areas of patience and grace over the next 30 days. It’s sure to be a rewarding season.

Looking forward to this series and forwarded it to my husband :). We love Love and Logic and try to implement it (but often fall short). Look forward to reading the other 2 you recommend :)
I'm glad I found you. This looks so interesting. I will pin your series and come back to this when I have more time to read.
Side note - a friend recommend I read 'Wild Things' for raising sons. Can't wait to read your thoughts on it. - A follow 31 Dayer
OOh! I need to read this series! I just read Parenting without Power Struggles by Susan Stiffelman. If you haven't read it, I'd highly recommend it!
