Yesterday I got an email that started like this:
Thank you for participating in my study, entitled “The Impact of Religiosity on Parenting Behaviors in Latter-day Saint Families.” During the survey, you were given the opportunity to enter your name into a drawing for 1 of 10 $50 Target gift cards. Well, congratulations! Your e-mail address was among those selected!
Hooray!! I spent 20 minutes about a month ago clicking "strongly agree, agree, neither agree nor disagree, disagree, strongly disagree" in a parenting study. After I finished I was feeling like a pretty mediocre parent. But now I see that it was time well spent.
And then I actually found some amazing parenting pointers in some articles my sister sent me, and a book I picked up randomly at the library: The Happiest Toddler on the Block: How to Eliminate Tantrums and Raise a Patient, Respectful, and Cooperative One- to Four-Year-Old. I think with a little effort I may become the happiest parent on the block.
$50 and a better parent. Can life get better than this?

Way to be a winner! And I am sure that you are an amazing parent, it is just hard to think so sometimes. :)
You are doing a great job as a parent. I can say that because I have lived in you house.
I found that book at our Library I can't want to read it.
Now, how do you get those $50 gift cards, I could use them for birthday gifts.
