jeri Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 especially if that child's behavior does much to frustrate you, your plans, the rest of your family. Any ideas? Thanks. jeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 This is one of my favorite parenting books. However, it's not so much about how to feel love for your child as it is about how to show love to your child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I don't know how old your kids are, but I found this in the library and have ordered a copy for myself. http://www.amazon.com/Keep-Love-Your-Heart-Little/dp/1589250664 Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornblower Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hold on to your Kids by Gordon Neufeld The more annoying & irritating they are, the more they need you to love them & be there with them. It's when they're the most obnoxious that they need you the most.

Paz Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I don't know if this is appropriate to your situation but Raising your Spirited Child was an amazingly helpful book for me because I realized that many of my dd behaviors and acting out were not because she was trying to be annoying but she could not help them. I was able to help her transition much better and make a few changes that saved our sanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquirrellyMama Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 http://www.amazon.com/Shes-Gonna-Blow-Dealing-Anger/dp/0736904336 The book "She's Gonna Blow: Mom's dealing with anger" really helped me. It isn't about loving your child but she has some stuff in there about how to look at your child differently which helps to love them more. I totally understand how you feel and how frustrating it can be Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
