2009 New Year Giveaway #11

February 9, 2009 · Posted in Contests 

We’re up to our 11th and FINAL giveaway!

But first…

Congratulations to the winner of our most recent After Holiday Giveaway!

Thank you for all the great replies to our last contest question about your special Valentine celebrations.  Our 10th Giveaway Winner is Jean D. who will be receiving A $15 Gift Certificate to Chicks & Cubs, compliments of Cynthia from www.chicksandcubs.com

Ok, now to the next and FINAL giveaway…This Box-Set of 5 CD’s titled “Tired of Nagging?  Get Your Kids to Cooperate.“  Compliments of Susan P. Epstein, LCSW, Parent Life Coach.  Check out her other products at parentingpowers.com.  This is more than a $400 Value!  You cannot miss out on this one!

My thought of the day:  As you may or may not know from previous posts, I have two boys…a 4-year old and a 5-year old.  They are polar opposites in most ways.  One is high-maintenance, one is laid back.  One is artistic, one is more about wrestling and rough-housing.  One loves competitive sports, the other hates playing against people because he will risk losing.  We’ve had a lot of challenges over the past 5+ years, and I know we have many many more to come.  There are a couple phases that have been extremely difficult for us, causing us to actually research the answers to our questions.  One was that our first born had tons of sleep issues…always crying, never falling asleep unless he was being held and rocked (although, in hindsight, I’m certain we created this issue).  The second biggest issue we’ve had so far is the tantrums.  If there is a Guinness Book record for longest and loudest temper tantrum, I am certain that my 5-year old would have won!

This leads to my next question

Whether you have kids or not, I would love to hear what your issues or questions have been?  If you have kids, what were your biggest challenges?  If you don’t have kids, but spend time with some one else’s kids, you must have things you’d like to vent about.  Just post it here.

If you have a Twitter account, and you want additional entries, just re-tweet and comment here about it.

The deadline for giveaway #11 entry is 11:59pm EST, Thursday February 12th, 2009.  To review the rules of our giveaway, please CLICK HERE.

    My oldest son is hyperactive and hypersensitive (like has a melt down when he hears a loud noise, etc.). It is so hard and it totally wears me out dealing with him when he has off the wall freak-outs. I could use a DVD series to help me with that!

    I would love to win this. Maybe it will help my anxiety related heart burn to go away.

    Lately, my middle daughter has taken to immediately blaming other people for everything–even when she’s at fault. I have no idea how to deal with that. We’ve tried a few ideas, but she doesn’t seem to get it. She’s super sensitive and very empathetic, so we’re baffled as to why she doesn’t understand how others feel when blamed for her mistakes.

    If you have children and DON’T have fustration pleasssssse tell me your secret. I have a 10yr old who is going on 30. Her and I don’t really have the mother daughter bond i’d like because of the fustration of things she does… talks back; don’t do what i ask; her tantrums and this list goes on. My 16 yr old son is a smart kid however he thinks he knows all and mom knows nothing and we bat heads all the time and i end up so fustrated I just tell him to go to his room

    I have 2 boys also.. The are also the total opposite. My first born is extremely smart but lazy and wants the world to follow HIS rules. The second born is laid back, more sensative and very affectionate. My first born had night terrors till he was 3. The doctor said it was because he waz so active that his mind wasn’t settling down enough.(so even in his sleep he was thinking of ways to raise my blood pressure..and still does) Thank heavens for friends that let me vent.
