Welcome to The Clown Car, the crazy parenting journey where two parents talk about how they and you can survive your own personal circus.

Story of the Week: Bathroom stories and preparing for a party.

Topic of the Day: Battling with your kids.

Is it worth fighting over?

Am I just frustrated with the situation?

What will bring me the most peace?

Is this just a once-in-while incident or is it repeat behavior that I actually need to deal with right now?

Is there a way to resolve the issue without creating additional frustration to anyone?

Weekly Challenge: This week’s challenge is to come up with a BATTLE plan so when they arise… and they WILL arise, you’ll be prepared to fight or let it go.

And Knowing is Half the Battle.
