I have written on my blog about how no one tells you how patience with kids is a whole different ball game  - patience should be a new word in any parenting dictionary... 

It seems to me that there is some form of barrier in a toddler's head - between the words leaving my mouth and entering their head...they dissolve.... 

It's not that they haven't heard, its just that they either don't want to do it, aren't really ready to do it now, or quite frankly think doing it is a blooming silly idea. 

So here are three top tips for keeping your patience with your kids:

Okay, so you have left the hospital! For those few of you who had a home birth you are at least spared the journey home from hospital. Albeit quite exciting the moment your little bundle of joy is strapped into your spangly new car seat, that sudden feeling of shock, horror hits home!

I have been caught out by this recently.  My son’s behaviour hit rock bottom and so a loss of television was a consequence; only I forgot to tell his Dad! You can guess what happened.

There are two different ways why this is important. Firstly, you can make threats which you don’t carry out. In this case even young children will quickly learn you don’t mean what you say and that they needn’t bother to listen or modify their behaviour because it simply doesn’t matter.
