cue feeding

Yes, cue feeding vs. PDF is an odd thing for a man to blog about. Well, on the surface it might be, but keep reading.

For all those mothers and fathers that read my blog, take a jump over to TulipGirl and follow the links. She has a link to a great discussion on Ezzo's PDF (parent-directed feeding) vs. cue feeding. Make sure once you get to TulipGirl you click on the taketime link. Again the discussion is a great one.

Side Note:
One of the biggest things that the Lord is teaching me as a parent is that I am lazy. And I think in general PDF roots are planted in a need for control, which ultimately stems from laziness. I could very well be wrong about this, but I know that is how it works in my life.

I find that 90% of the time when I'm getting onto John David it is not because he is doing something wrong or dangerous. It is more because whatever he is doing/playing with is going to require that I either clean something up or is bothering me while I am trying to do something I want to do. I think in the same way PDF is someone trying to make a child as little as a bother as possible. Again, maybe I'm wrong about this, and if so someone explain it to me.

Yes, I am dealing with that. Since the store has been so busy, I barely have time to cook my family a dinner. They are here with me at the store, I feal guilty telling my children to wait cause I am working or dealing with a customer. Where is the difference between the child knowing that mommy has to work with a customer and them waiting till I get to them, because mommy saying that it the way it is. Or me fealing guilty cause I am not having the time-patience to deal with the situation of talking to them when the situation occurs or are they taking advantage of me cause they know I will give in to them so I can deal with something or someone else. I feal guilty for the little time I have for them anymore, but I am also noticing there behavior-me discipling them is getting walked all over.
