R3 (age 3) can be quit a handful. There are days I exhaust my options in discipline and I still have a 3 year old that will not mind. It can be frustrating, but at my last discipleship meeting with Beth she gave me some great advice and today I was able to use it.
At naptime R3 can get out of control and I don't have many options to deal with him. I usually end up getting frustrated and that never helps the situation. Today was like any other day and I was getting very frustrated with him, then I remembered what Beth said. I sat on his bed and rocked him and just prayed in the Spirit. He is fascinated by speaking in tongues and always asks me to pray more. The more I prayed, the more he and I both relaxed. It was a great moment and I know God is doing deep things in his little heart. Life is so much easier when I ask God for help first!
