Here’s an article about parenting.

The title: “Why Everything We Know About Discipline is Wrong”

Everything…

Absolutely everything we know is WRONG!

I had no idea.

Sadly, it’s too late for me.

I’ve already raised (wrongly) my four kids.

But maybe there’s hope for you.

And though it’s long…

Dull…

Loaded with pretension…

and bereft of researched facts…

It will tell you what you need to know.

That you suck as a parent.

Right?

You knew that didn’t you?

Come on!

You at least SUSPECTED it.

Because you’ve disciplined your kids.

And you were annoyed, even angry when you did it.

The kid poured grape juice into your sock drawer.

And you lost it!

Do you know why?

Right, because you suck…

…but there’s a deeper reason.

It’s because you don’t know how to discipline yourself.

Here’s a sample of sage wisdom from the article:

“When we, as parents, radiate with self-discipline, it will vibrate louder than any strategy we can inflict on our children. It will echo in the way we make our beds every morning, how we exercise our bodies, the food we eat, the boundaries we set and the ways we engage with our own purpose. Our task then is not to search high and low for a clever doctor to hand us techniques or strategies to “fix” and control our children’s lives. Instead, the paramount task becomes to align our own lives with clarity, intent, purpose and balance.”

Still awake?

Understand?

If you want your kids to stop pouring grape juice into your sock drawer,

YOU need to stop pouring grape juice into your sock drawer!

Be a role model.

Such a simple, practical solution!

You don’t need “a clever doctor to hand you techniques”…

Because the author of this article has written a book!

A book about how you don’t need books…

The author doesn’t mention actually having children of her own.

That’s an enlightened concept too.

After all,

…it’s the kids that make parenting stressful.
