Discuss Kel's answer to: 17 year old mother, at wits end

Treat your babies the way you would want to have been treated as a baby. What would've made YOU smile? What did you love watching your mom do? You're a teen parent and a student. You COULD homeschool the rest of your credits through the American School of Correspondence and do things at the speed that's comfortable for you and allow you to enjoy these ages. The age they still smile at you when you smile at them.:) You're their hero! They don't want anything more than you and they'll get you if they can help it! When you're ready to scream, stop that moment and switch gears. "Okay guys, BATHTIME!" And turn a strenuous situation into a cute, fun, enjoyable time for the three of you. Discipline actually means, "to teach." If they do something unpleasing, get in position to look into their eyes and say simple things like, "You cannot do that. No." But you're not done. At this age it's distraction, distraction, distraction. Get away from the problem situation and create a good one with new objects in a new area. Dim lights, put in jammies, get them some cheerios and put in a movie they LOVE for study time. Make good memories for you and your babies, it gets easier.
