You are very welcome!

+Creative Minds Homeschool (Dina P. - Perkilou) We can all probably brush up on this. :)

I am so glad that you enjoyed the video. I have several posts on the Parenting to Impress blog that you may find helpful as well. parentingtoimpress/tag/adhd

Thank you!

+Go Av Thank you for watching. May God help all of us be consistent! :)

+Stephanie Davis Let me know how it goes!

I can not encourage you enough to have a speech evaluation. I am a huge supporter of early intervention. I encourage you to talk about the options with your pediatrician.

So glad that you have found this video helpful and I love what you said about not "training." Sometimes we think that kids should just pick it up. I think you could do the same concept but adapt it to what he likes. Maybe have a jar of marbles and for each first time obedience, he moves a marble from one jar to another. A full jar means _____ (what motivates him). At this age, I would encourage you to make him part of the discussion. Explain how the expectations are going to change and why, pray together about it, and ask for his input to help you put this into place. Hope that helps!

Not at all! Love and Logic says that for every 1 year of poor parenting, it only takes 1 month to turn things around. It is never too late!

+Megann Plaza Great question. For a child under two who refuses to come to you when called, I believe that a time out is a great consequence for many children. It forces them to stop their play time or activity that they chose to do other than obey.

I think implementing at the same time is a great idea!

That is a good question. Obeying for a reward is fun. Obeying because it is the right thing to do, tends to lose the excitement. First, I would encourage you to slowly taper off the reward. Cold turkey can be hard. For a while, reward him on times that you know it was harder for him to obey - maybe he was very involved in a toy when you told him to come to you. On easier times, give him a hug or a high five instead of a M&M. As he grows, you want him to understand that obeying is a reward in itself because he shows love to those he obeys (John 14:15). Also, it keep him from getting in trouble. It makes him feel better about himself. Also, help him praise God for obedience; help Him understand that it is only with God's help that he can make good decisions because God is our only hope.

Thank you so much for your advice. I will try that.

I am so sorry for the late reply as your message was hidden until now. This is a great question. I am not an Occupational Therapist so I can't explain everything that happens in the body while jumping, but the jumping provides sensory input for children. I would encourage you to talk to an occupational therapist or do some research on sensory input. Hope that helps

@@ABCJesusLovesMe No problemo we actually got a small indoor trampoline for our kiddos a few weeks ago (it's been helpful during winter when we can't get outside) 👍

Thank you for understanding. Yes, the indoor trampoline is so helpful during the cold weather.

For children over 2, I suggest the Dr. Kevin Leman idea of "B" doesn't happen until "A" is complete and the Love and Logic idea of "Energy Drain." I discuss these further in the ABCJesusLovesMe Biblical Discipline Series - abcjesuslovesme.com/products/other-products/BibDis1/

Toddlers understand way more than we think. A toddler can be taught to come when called. She may not be able to say, "Yes ma'am, I am coming," but look for the obedience.

+Stephanie We began the training a little later. I would start it with a 18 month - 2 year old.

+Heidi - ABCJLM Thanks for the reply and for all you are doing to help other moms with your videos and curriculum! We just started ABCJLM with our special needs 21 month old and I appreciate your posts about how you have dealt with your children's special needs. God bless you and your family :)

+Stephanie So glad that you are enjoying ABCJLM and have found the videos helpful. God Bless!
