Today I have the extreme pleasure of heading over for a Saturday Playdate at the Life of Rylie … and Bryce too! LeeAnn, Rylie and Bryce’s super mom, has been having one tough time when it comes to picking the kids up at daycare. Seems Rylie all but goes into hurricane mode when mom arrives, […]
Positive Discipline
If you’ve been reading Heligirl for any amount of time, you know I’m a huge believer in positive discipline and doing all I can to work with my kids rather than punish them when they misbehave. More often than not I feel like I’m stumbling in the dark and crashing into some rather fragile things. […]
Another installment in my Positive Discipline articles. We’re hitting that lovely stage here in Jen’s World where Sweetness is all about the boundary testing.

Another installment in my Positive Discipline Articles. Today revealed a whole new side to my little girl I’m far from prepared to handle, despite all my Positive Discipline study.
