Update on Our Magic
We are currently on day 3 of Magic 1, 2, 3. Day 1 was great. We never reached 3. The kids were excited about it. All was well with the world.
Yesterday, we had a big day and were out and about all day long. Reed was fine, but Cole was testy. Because we were with other people, it was inconvenient to do a time-out there, so I did a suggested Time Out Alternative and removed “technology time” from today. He ended up losing 45 minutes, but was surprisingly OK with it this morning when I informed him his time was up.
He just finished his first time out of the day (it’s 8:49 AM) after throwing a little tantrum. So far, we have mixed results, but I know it will take time for him to know I’m serious and to develop the self-control necessary to stop at 1 or 2. I like that I’m not raising my voice or getting into a power struggle with him. I’ll keep updating every few days or as we have any big successes or pitfalls.
