The Nabi Effect & More

Coparenting in Seoul has been an experience. My children are doing great in school, except for the 5yrs old. He is still having issues with him being impulsive and he gets really upset at time and lashes out. I have contributed the fact that he does not like to be ignored. It is really hard to teach a 5 yr old that not everyone is going to listen to him, right now. But I understand his frustration, he doesn't like his stuff touched and at time he does not want to play with anyone. When someone ask him a question and he gives an honest answer he expects it to be followed. So if he is playing alone which he does a lot and someone ask to play with him and he says No, he expects to be left alone. When that does not happen he does get upset and sometimes throws things because he feels like they are not listening. This is complex because I want him to interact with others but I also want him to be listened to when he says something. So we had to have a meeting about safety because he has almost hurt a couple of people when he gets upset, he does feel remorseful after and comes back to apologize but at the height of his anger, he can be dangerous. The 3 yr old, has grown into a beautiful verbal butterfly who says what she wants when she needs to, but is also a cuddle bug.

Some of the behaviors that you have seen me talk about in previous post with the teenagers has not changed. They still don't come home at the time they are supposed to and then get upset when they cannot go outside for 2 days but that is the consistent consequence for their actions. I just make sure they understand that the punishment is not going to change and when their friends show up looking for them I tell them they didn't come home on time so they cannot come out. I talk to the teenagers every couple of days just to check in but I truly believe that if I didn't call, they wouldn't reach out. They are my biggest supporters in what I am doing. I cannot wait to give them my business card and flyer to take to their school counselor.

Lets end this talking about self-promotion. Self promotions is harder than I thought but I am going to start going live 2x a week on Facebook and Instagram. Posting tik tok videos 4 times a week and I do have some promotions going on with the e-books and I plan on giving away a few autographed poetry books for people to read and share with everyone.
