Love and Logic-Finishing the Race...and Enjoying It at the Same Time
Have you ever met a "sprinter parent"? Like athletes competing for the gold in a fifty-yard dash, they throw every erg of their energy into trying to deal with each instance of misbehavior. Determined to raise great kids, they spend almost every moment trying to correct their youngsters' behavior.
Here's the problem: Parenting is a marathon...not a 50-yard dash! Those who start the journey as sprinters quickly run out of energy, get frustrated, and view parenting as painful.
"Marathon parents" know how to pick their battles. Because they know that parenting is a life-long task, they ask the following questions when they deal with misbehavior:
•Is this behavior dangerous in any way?
•If my child continued to do this for his entire life, would it really be a problem?
•Is this behavior a chronic problem?
•Is this a battle I can win right now without first getting support or ideas from others?
