My wife and I are very new to Real Love. We are having trouble finding ways to apply these principles to our toddlers (3 children 3 years old and younger). We very much appreciated the account given of the 3 year old in the truck. Therefore, we request that anyone who has specific experiences that they can share where they have applied RL principles in parenting their children, specifically toddlers, would kindly do so.
Thank you, Matt |

I too am quite new to the concept unconditional love. Most recently my 29 month old boy moved to a big boy bed and had some new found freedom. The first night was perfect...he pleased me by crawling into bed without a peep. The nights to follow were not so smooth. In fact he would proceed to get out of bed and bang his water cup on the door. I was mad, annoyed and inconvenienced by his reaction. I became more and more frustrated and felt like I could just spank him and yell at him to go to sleep. Before I took that route a suggestion was made. I tried it and here is what happened.... instead of closing his bedroom door, even with the amount of activity and noise outside his room, he would get up and we would simply put him back in bed. No conversation, no snuggling, no coddling. After 10 times of this, he went to sleep. Mind you, the other times were move like 15-20 until I finally laid with him. The next night, it was once and tonight it was zero. He feel asleep with door open.

Tonight my 6 year old and 2 year old chose to get out of bed between the hours of 8 and 10pm. At first, I took it in stride. As the night went on and they kept getting out of bed and crying I felt myself get angry, inconvenienced, annoyed. In truth, I didn't spend enough time tonight loving them and they simply were asking to be loved. I don't know how to love them after the fact. Meaning when they should be asleep, I am not sure what to give them. The two choices that run through my mind is anger and to yell at them or to crawl in bed and lie with them.

Greg gives some great examples of what to do with children who won't stay in bed in the Parenting book. Can't say exactly where, but it's in there. It did involve removing the door knob and turning it around so it can be locked from the outside. And not being angry or annoyed when you are dealing with them. Do you have the Parenting book?
Love,

 ~ Awesome TRUTH-telling both of you ~
Just know that your need for Love & acceptance needs
to be met first-so by all means make those Real Love phone calls
or e-mails.
Any means by which you have the opportunity to be see, accepted & loved will bring both you & your children the BEST results.
Love&Teach is one word. Then, after you have loved&taught them, love&teach them again.
It's a process for both sides.
Keep this Unconditional love flowing; from the many Sources available --->you ---> them.
Happy Parenting!!!

Make sure you've read what Greg says in the book before you remove the door knob. It's the last resort after attempting to Love&Teach.
Love,
