Consistency and Follow Through

With any child this is a very important - when you are consistent and you follow through on what you say- I am not an expert and do not claim to be I just know what works for my child who has behavioral and emotional needs-

When I am not consistent or do not follow through he thinks he can get away with things- so I have to be on my game no matter how tired I get- is it hard oh yes it is- but it works -
I have had professionals tell me - pastors - and other parents keep doing what you are doing it is working- I can't give up and neither can you

If you are consistent and follow through your kids will begin to change- is it over night NO WAY-we are 4 and half years after adoption and still working on this - both of us- and yet it is working I see the change

You see I am consistent and listen and do what others see work- consistency here is the main key- my thing to my son is who is going to win and he can now answer you mommy- so he gets his act together a whole lot sooner then before-

Set the rules and do them - set the consequences and do them- you may have to tweak as they get older as I do but this works- Your role is key - you set the rules and you need to do what you say is going to happen- does it get tiring as I said before oh my yes- but keep doing it- keep pressing on you can do it - I know you can
