Get The Behavior You Want...Without Being The Parent You Hate! - Book Review

-
I wanted to share this book I have been reading. It is called, "Get The Behavior You Want...Without Being The Parent You Hate!"
It's written by Deborah Gilboa, MD. THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST. I just wanted to share it!
Basically it is a very thorough parenting book with lots of info, tips and practices for raising responsible, respectful children. 

She is a mother as well as a family physician and has excellent experience and advice. And I have found her to be honest, and experienced and helpful.

This book has information and tips for children as young as toddlers and older children ages 10-12 and up. And I have found it very useful.
We all want to raise our children the best we can and sometimes we just don't know what to do, or we let things slide but then expect them to know when it's ok to let it slide and not ok. Then we just don't know what to do in certain situations and especially in families with multiple children, it can be hard to raise them with all the tools they need.

It has 4 main parts, and in each it discusses topics such as manners, respect, communication; verbal and nonverbal, responsibility,  homework, money, resilience, play time, sibling management, lying, rights and privileges, and consistency. All are common areas in which most of us could use some help.
It is very easy to read, understand and follow and includes examples and questions asked by other parents as well as Dr G's answers. I have been trying some techniques and practicing tips. The most important part is consistency.

A lot of parenting books are well written but read more like a "you should do this and know this" but don't give you actual methods to try or leave you wondering how it will fit and work in your own home. This book is easy and fun to read and left me feeling more prepared to take control of my home and my children and feel more confident in how to raise them to be the people I think they can be.

I definitely recommend for all parents, especially those, like me, who are finding themselves in a tornado of changing behaviors and no real solution or way to get through it all.

Freebie FAQs: How to Get Stuff For Free!

(Updated January 2025) Hey there, I am going to tell you how I get Freebies, but first I have to be honest... While the products and stuff I get may be free when thinking monetarily, it's not always just free, per se.  I do work hard for my free stuff. If you want to be a full time freebie finder or product reviewer, social media influencer, prepare to work hard and be on your phone or computer, a lot.  Plus the time it takes to really look at and try and prepare to review the products you received.  Each site will take time to participate in. You don’t want to overwhelm yourself when you first start. Some sites take more involvement than others, especially survey sites. I am a part of many of survey sites along with my many freebie/review/product sampling sites and communities, but I started with a few and then joined more over the years. I started survey sites and product review programs in 2011. I've been doing this for years now and put a lot of effort and time into i...

Rad Women Worldwide! Review

I think, for being a girl, the biggest motivation and inspiration comes from reading about other women who changed the world and make a major impact in how we live and how things are done today. It seems we often hear about the men who have made history, but what about us girls?!?  I recently read the book, Rad Women Worldwide , by Kate Schatz, illustrated by Miriam Klein Stahl, and was inspired by all the stories about women in sports, medicine, science, along with the pirates, punks and revolutionaries.  There are some remarkable women out there who have done equally amazing things and this book is full of them. From the look and design of the book, to the stories inside, it is a very visually attractive with a modern focus on women.  I really love the bright colors and fun presentation of this book. It is like a fun trip in history. Each story is well researched and engaging and inspiring. The content of it covers from 430 B.C. to the year 2016 in 31 cou...

Went to Safeway today and got us some Johnsonville Grillers ! The clerk who checked us out was totally jealous! ;-) I chose the Cheddar Bacon because it just looked and sounded delicious! Oh, and it was! They were so easy to cook. Literally just pull them out of the box, remove the paper separating them and grill em! I stood there and watched them cook, and was overjoyed by the smell wafting up to me! Thank goodness it didn't take long to cook, I swear I could have drooled buckets. I felt like Homer when it comes to donuts! Haha! I loved the smell, as much as the juicy, flavorful taste. It was like a hamburger but so much better. Each bite was full of cheese and a little bacon, and delicious, quality pork sausage. I was actually a little suprised at how much I liked them. My in laws also loved them, and agreed about the juicy taste, and the box went fast. Really fast. Now I just can't wait to try the rest of them! I know what I'm getting on my next shopping trip! I’m a...
