And We Are Updated

Its been a long and arduous winter. March is here, I am six months pregnant. Which by the way, makes me incredibly nervous to speak of being pregnant online. I have fear of someone coming after me and trying to take my baby. To combat this, I am laying low online about the pregnancy and I keep a dog with me a lot. I have three of them so it isn’t too hard.  In fact if I were not pregnant and married, I would probably be the crazy dog lady. Actually, I might already be there. Even though my blogging skills on this sight have been lax, I have a lot of my own questions running through my head on parenting. Recently, my children have begun to try every nerve in my body. The constant twitching is par for the coarse now.  Obviously, this does not stop me from giving advice about parenting to my friends. Because well, I am completely an expert. In reality we are all flying blind trying to figure out how to raise this next generation of children. So in terms of discipline we are trying to stop a behavior while teaching them a lesson. I guess my question is what works? What’s the currency we use to entice our children on how to do the right thing, while teaching them a lesson? Better yet, what is the lesson?  I feel like many teenagers now  are missing the point of doing the right just for the sake of doing to right thing. How do we prevent this from happening with our children?
