Here We Go!

We are in day four of Do Nothing, Say Nothing with two sons, ages eight and six. This week has proved very interesting so far, with immediately less stress in the house, dramatic decrease in fighting between kids, kids seem to know the basics of what needs to get done in the morning and evening routines, but they get easily sidetracked with the computer or television and then decide to “just skip it,” like breakfast, homework, bathing, and cleanup. We have noticed that at bedtime there is too much television or computer and the older son is just determined to stay up as late as possible and to take over all electronic devices, and the younger son is trying to keep up (although he made his own choice to go to bed earlier last night). I am sensing that my older son is enjoying the feeling of being up later with the adults and maybe needs to have a different bedtime expectation from my younger son? We are noticing that my older son is ready for more responsibilities/privileges than my younger son and that he needs us to recognize that.

We have definitely been impressed by our sons’ abilities and also recognize areas to improve in. I feel truly empowered and supported in the way I would like to parent for probably the first time since my kids were born!
