A List
I have a child that has been known to be a little difficult from time to time. He means well... most of the time... I think. But there are a lot of hard, HARD days. It had reached a tipping point. I felt like every day I was after him for something, there was so much yelling, arguing... it made my home a place that I didn't want to be- because it meant another confrontation. I was searching and searching for inspiration- from anywhere. I had read so many blogs, websites, books, articles- all promising that they could help. But the solutions never seemed to fit. So one day, on the way to Lake Powell with the family for a vacation that I was certain was going to be a disaster- I had a flash of desperation or inspiration... depending on how you look at it. I had the feeling that I needed to open my Notes App on my phone and jot down EVERYTHING that this kid did right. Everything. And nothing was too small....
