Does your DH have a decent, or adequate understanding of developmental stages? I'm worried that his expectations of children's behavior is going to continue to present challenges and frustrate him.

My son is almost 8. I talked with him about the puppy the other day. I've been trying to teach him that when he growls what she's trying to tell us. So if he is picking her up when she's growling I say what is she letting us know of what she needs. This seems to be working better. I can only hope and pray! Developmental stages with kids..yeah probably not..

I know DH has done a lot better. He at least listens to me. So many times I tell him how I'm clueless what to do. My husband was raised "very strict" and he sees nothing wrong with that. But he does seem a little more willing to listen to me now.
