Man what a week. I don’t know what’s up with Jason but it’s like he has changed over night. He use to be what I call a typical toddler. His third birthday is coming up soon and I thought we had made it through the terrible two’s with little problem. Apparently he is making up for it big time. All this week he has been a wacko, for lack of a better term. Bouncing off the walls, temper tantrums and out right trying to irritate me and everyone he comes in contact with. He definitely has me at my wits end. I am trying to stay calm but boy it isn’t easy sometimes. I am hoping this phase passes very soon like maybe by his third birthday in a couple weeks. After all it’s called terrible two’s not terrible three’s. I want my happy go lucky little guy back!

Be one of the first to nominate your blog for our Super Blogger Award.
Why I am doing this? Well a few years back I started an award program for SPT’s sister site Parent Super Site. It was quite successful and it gave me an opportunity to see many wonderful websites around the web. I am not overly critical and believe most people put a lot of work into their websites and shouldn’t have to be a pro to be acknowledged. So, I decided it would be a fun feature for Super Parents Talk as well and I can’t see what the world of blogging has to offer.
Your blog needs to be family friendly and does not have to relate to parenting. Nominate your blog here.

The Language of Learned Helplessness Quiz
by Chick Moorman
Not many parents set out to raise a thirty-year-old Nintendo player who sprawls on the couch all day sucking up pizza and diet Pepsi. Yet many parents actually subvert their positive intention of raising responsible, confident, fully functioning children. They do it by unconsciously using Parent Talk that allows and encourages helplessness. Read the rest of this entry »
