Certainly they have their moments, but in general they're well-behaved. While I am so thankful for that, there's a part of me that hopes I haven't crushed their independent spirit. Such a balance, this motherhood dance is!<br /><br />I'd love to check out these books...would you recommend one over the other, or are they part of a sequence?

I definitely need to read Dare to Discipline, and the Strong-Willed Child would be good to read, more before I am the strong-willed child. <br /><br />The "ultimate mother-curse" made me chuckle. I've actually consciously thought that I would make sure NOT to say that to my girls. <br /><br />I love your committment to letting your girlies know, both, that you mean business, and are going to discipline consistently AND that that they will never lose your affection. <br /><br />Such a balancing act, this parenting job!

I think I'm going to need to read it myself, and pick up <i>The New Strong-Willed Child</i> while I'm at it!
