Sometimes my kids stress me out. I mean, maybe a little more often than sometimes! You know when they can't stop clinging or whining and it seems like you can't take it anymore? I have the tendency to yell and be mean but I know that yelling is not the answer, so what do I do?

I put on some good 'ol classical music! It was like magic today. As soon as I felt like the kid's behavior (which was very typical of 1 and 2 year olds) getting on my nerves I turned on Pandora and typed in Antonio Vivaldi. My 2 year old daughter started dancing around the livingroom and my 1year old boy starting playing with some toys. I felt so uplifted by the music and so did the kids. It was wonderful! I make sure to play it pretty loud so we can all enjoy Vivaldi's Four Seasons when it comes up on the playlist.

ReplyDeleteWe use Pandora radio when things get rough too! (Mine is only 2 weeks old.) The music definitely reduces the stress! (I found your blog via CathSorority. Welcome!)
