Like many parents I'm browsing through books to give me some insight into parenting. I started reading Nurture Shock and while I agree that it is thought provoking and full of facts, I don't see much of the solution to fix the issues found. I am however, intrigued by the "Tools of the Mind" information. I'm on a quest to discipline my son without too many arguments (yeah, like that's possible). The first step was to enroll him in martial arts. Now, I want to try "TOTM" in our spare time. I'm always wondering how to play to engage him, and I got some tips here:

Hoping that I can include my toddler in these "games" and learn a bit myself!
