What is the best way to teach and train a toddler's heart?
The calmest, kindest, most effective manner seems to be within the context of a flexible routine.
A fairly predictable day means less 'no' for mum and child and tangible progress can be made.
Happy Hearts can be developed through the teaching of the virtues of kindness, goodness, gentleness, cheeerfulness, helpfulness, quietness, obedience and self-control.
Bit by bit, all day, every day, using each ordinary every day activity as a teaching opportunity.
A Happy Heart makes for a happy toddler!!

Grand Goals
Can you articulate your parenting goal?
Do you know what you are hoping to achieve after 18 odd years of parenting?
I can pretty much sum up my heart desires for my children in a few sentences.
The list is not too long when you focus on the crucuial bits.
What are you doing in this season of your parenting towards you goal?
This month? This week? This day?
We need to know where we are going.
We also need to know how we are going to get there.
