"Our bright, energetic, connected boys often have a lot of feelings to get out every day. We began a game called "Escape," almost by accident, when the boys were under 3. We hold them and cackle, 'I won't let you go until all those feelings come out.....you can try to escape, but you won't....ha. ha. ha.!' They squirm and wriggle and arch and push and slither and I hold them tight. They laugh and yell and LOVE it. The game ends with them cuddling up for a chat or escaping -- which is always followed by crawling back on our laps for cuddles or another round of Escape. They now ask for Escape when they have a lot of feelings inside that they can't express. This activity can turn an ugly day right around!" -- Lawrence Cohen READ POST
"Dr. Laura -- I really liked the email about it taking only 21
days to change. But all your suggestions are about changing myself.
(Acknowledge my kid, Avoid yelling. etc.) I know yelling doesn't help,
but I grew up with yelling and it is very hard to stop. In the
meantime, my kid (who I know at heart is a good boy) is out of control
and impulsive. How do I teach him to control himself?" -- Yelling Mom
