Elbow to Elbow

My son is so cute when he sticks out his elbow for me to tap and says, "eh-bow?"

We started a ritual this week that leaves him asking for more.

As a toddler, I pull him on my lap or do this after a diaper change when he's laying in the valley of my legs (since I'm the diaper changing station).

Once you are facing your child, pull his or her bent arm to yours and gently tap your elbows togther. Sing, "Elbow to elbow, 1 - 2 - 3."

Then reach over and grab the other elbow to your other elbow and sing, "Elbow to elbow, you love me."

Hope this brings out the smiles and requests for more!

This could be a quickie while you're waiting in line somewhere. When you see other people smiling, share what you love about Dr. Becky Bailey and Conscious Discipline -- it could change their life.
