The How To Mom: how to fix your child's attitude. I didn't really give much thought to my parenting philosophy until my oldest daughter was about 3.

The How To Mom: how to fix your child's attitude

She was stubborn, and hated to be "controlled" which just made me want to try even harder to control her. It was power struggle city. Over ev.ry.thing. Getting her in the carseat, diaper changes, getting dressed, not acting like a lunatic at the store. It was non-stop. After finding Dr Laura Markham, my world changed. Since then, our relationship has naturally ebbed and flowed. And guess what I learned (this will blow your mind):She was irritating, because I was irritated with her. Do you see what I'm saying?

I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess. Now don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Disney Princesses, from their beautiful dresses, perfect hair, gorgeous voices and most with ideal love stories in the mix you can’t help but become entranced with the characters.
