I will say skool is really nice because you can’t lose this social media or connection here, but Facebook is always doing some sort of overreach or messing around like I just got kicked out of Facebook messenger and my Facebook account. Can’t log into it at all through my phone and I’m getting this weird error message that somethings going on on messenger so I’ve also lost a Facebook group. I had a following with and it completely got lost when my account got hacked so there are pros and cons to everything but I think schools are really great platform. I’m really enjoying this one and I think that it’s probably more secure.

So good. Thank you for sharing an old scenario came up tonight that was hard. I felt confused and still do not understand the reason for being corrected in front of the kids over a comment I made. He wants me to respond with an apology and recognize the harm I was causing in a comment I made that was completely innocent. I did not mean anything by it, and the kids were not upset at all by what i said they didn't think anything at all until he said something. I was surprised by him being so upset with me and what I said. I am still trying to understand why he felt he had to say something so abruptly in front of the kids while we were playing a game. This has not happened in a long time. Youn wonder what did she say ha ha ha well, we were playing apples to apples. And I was the judge so I needed to cover my ears and I covered my eyes, while derrick sounded out and read the cards to my youngest who's learning to read what his cards say so he can pick which card he would like to play. It was 9:40 late night to play a game but we were determined to play a game before getting them to bed. As I was laying on the floor eyes covered and ears covered, I said, out loud, no filter, "I feel like I am going to fall asleep." I meant no harm by that comment. It was just how I was feeling. What is going on? I was clearly taken back by his reaction towards my comment. I said this is not longer fun I need to excuse myself. I felt like bawling. I ended up leaving to spend some time with God and my herbs in my apothecary to process what just happened. I for some reason feel so confused and asked him after the kids were down why he felt prompted to say something, why he felt he had to correct me in front of the kids? I was accused of being critical. Tonight I tried to engage, play games and do something fun and then this happened. I am starting to realize why I most of the time choose to not participate in family games. I feel very hurt but I am also trying to understand why he was also triggered. What can I do going forward? It's a conflict I am unsure what steps to take next. I need to break this one down.

Limited attention span
Hey everyone so I've been a little out of touch and mostly following on Telegram but now that we have this community on here too, I thought I would jump on and just say a quick little hello! And re - introduce myself! I’m Maria and have three boys 6,4 and 18 mos!!!!! Yes I’m super busy ha ha I’m making goals to be encouraged and check in with you all more so I can learn and practice skills as well as get some much needed support. Here we go, here’s the scenario my five year-old has a very short attention span. He makes tons of messes in his room, but he doesn’t like to pick them up and if he does pick them up, he likes you to be in the room with him. Earlier on he had too many things I realized in his room so we made it simple and we took a lot out. He now couldn’t manage his dresser drawers. It was too much so I also drastically reduced the amount of clothes he has in his drawers. Trying to set him up for success and make it as simple as possible so today I asked him to while I was sitting on the floor to pick up and he started jumping around messing around, and I walked away and started doing my own thing and then he would go to his dad frustrated saying I’m trying to do my job. I’m trying to clean but mom‘s not in there with me And so I talked to him and I said I’m happy to be in here, but you need to work and help as I continue to sit there. He would work on picking things up and then probably after five minutes of picking stuff up he would be back to bouncing around and acting up and I would leave the room again. It was like this all afternoon and we eventually had a success. The room got clean he did it. He did his best he could and I was so proud of him for doing it and hanging in there because I realized it was a very hard task , I’ve asked him what he needs and I asked him if it would be easy for him to do a task and then take like a break and then do the task and take a break or if he’d rather clean all at once he said it’s too much and that he likes to just take breaks so that was a really good way to communicate with him to understand his needs But the biggest thing that’s hard is I have a son that’s the oldest in there who does keep it clean and he gets frustrated because the other one is messy if you guys have any other ideas on how I can navigate this let me know. My patience definitely is being tested. I feel with his silliness. He’s a very goofy silly little guy. I love that he is so goofy and silly, but I also know there are times. We need to get things done and I have a really hard time talking to him when he’s bouncing all over the place. Let me know if you guys have used any fun tricks or any types of reward systems that have been helpful. Tomorrow’s Isaiah’s birthday and we are excited to go out and do some big celebrations with him tomorrow for his birthday. I did give him a high five for finishing his room and he did seem to want to listen better after I talk to him and asked him what his needs were. If there’s anything I’m missing as I feel a little rusty at times I am still training my brain with all I’ve learned in Brave moms and yes, I definitely have to look back all the time at my notes and the classes, but let me know how I’m doing and let me know if you have any suggestions on how I can make this even more fun experience while trying to keep the room together I have literally packed all toys less clothes in his drawers, I’ve done everything I can to make it simpler for him.

I love that idea!! Yes we are trying. I was able to find an app called Nipto and it tracks completed tasks with a points system super cool! So it’s been a race between him and his brother to see how many points they can both earn. We plan to cash these points in at the end of the month to do a fun family activity of their choice based on the point accumulated. We will see what the end of the mo th looks like and decide as a family how to assign certain points to fun rewards like 2,000 pts earns ice cream out etc they can earn up to 4,100 pts in a month is they complete ea task ea. day. Today was a great homeschool day but yesterday was not a great day it was hard exhausting and my five year old was not wanting to learn he was super frustrated and I saw what triggered him. Long story short my oldest was trying to do a dad role.
