-
Yes! RT @BruceSallan: A Family Dinner – at LEAST once-a-week – is ESSENTIAL to a healthy family life! #ProdChat -
@MCTheWriter Isn’t that the truth? You must be especially patient when the child is just like you! #prodchat
-

-
@BruceSallan wow! Yea, she is only 9 weeks old and it feels like I just brought her home, it’s flying by! #prodchat
-
@DigitalKaitlyn how amazing! Congrats! I recall being a new parent as a confusing time, and I’d been around a lot of kids. #prodchat
-
@wordwhacker @BruceSallan I never knew how stupid I was until I tried to help my kids with their homework. #prodchat
-
@DigitalKaitlyn – document it all – write it down too as well as photos/video – she will love it later! #ProdChat
-
I wish! It is something that I’m longing to have “@BruceSallan: “@BruceSallan: @MCTheWriter – what’s patience? #ProdChat”
-
Explain? @BruceSallan: A2 – Kids ONLY open up with QUANTITY TIME. There is NO such thing as quality time #ProdChat”
-
@BruceSallan I have been trying! I wrote her a letter in my 38th week of pregnancy and I take tons of photos and videos <3 #prodchat
-
@BruceSallan oh thank you! I will try to be there for sure! #prodchat
-
@DigitalKaitlyn I found comfort in knowing I would mess them up one way or another. 😉 #prodchat

@DigitalKaitlyn Our elementary principal calls that “giving them something to talk about in therapy.” #prodchat

I think to be a parent you must have not only unconditional love but also unconditional patience. #prodchat

@matt_janacone – ALL love is really conditional to some degree, especially marriage – parents less so… #ProdChat

@evelynalauer @BruceSallan Too bad the bookstores don’t carry many books anymore! That really irks me. #prodchat

Totally RT @matt_janacone: Parenting seems to be the most difficult but rewarding job in the word! #prodchat

@matt_janacone I had a single mother. I never one time remember feeling like she just wanted me to go away or stop talking. #prodchat
-
@BruceSallan Yes. Where the food you actually should eat is made. #prodchat
-
“@BruceSallan: A4 – If you’ve established a special family dinner, it can survive the tween and teen years #ProdChat” 4usSabbath meal did it
-
@BruceSallan That is just not the same. You cannot smell the books online. I love that bookstore smell! #prodchat
-
-
MORE imp! RT @matt_janacone: I think it is just as important to be there when your kids fail as it is when they are victorious. #ProdChat
-
#prodchat My book pre-trailer for my short story; “The Blue Gun Or The Hidden Yet Easy Solution” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJAwQHQbCTs …AwQH… -
RT @dubioseducator: #ProdChat Easy and fun to make kids, difficult to raise them. Be there for them, they are your most important investment
-
@BruceSallan There certainly are times I want my kids to stop talking and leave for a bit. She had to feel that. Never showed. #prodchat
-
@DigitalKaitlyn – did you change your avatar DURING this chat? #ProdChat
-
@mssackstein If I pouted when I lost as a child, I had to go to my room and listen to everyone else play. Great lesson. #prodchat
-
@BruceSallan yes i did lol I have been meaning to and you reminded me 🙂 #prodchat
-
@DigitalKaitlyn Feeding the baby is a good excuse to disappear. #prodchat
-
@DigitalKaitlyn – Wow, I’m glad I caught that…lol… #ProdChat
-
@matt_janacone We’re glad you’re here too! #prodchat

And important to do! RT @profkrg: @BruceSallan @matt_janacone saying “no” is easy. Sticking to “no” is the hard part. #ProdChat
