With parenting, I have to remind myself to stay calm and level every day!

I tend to point to my daughter's dad as the cause of many of her behaviour issues, and that is counterproductive...we all have our own challenges, and while there may be some factors outside of our control, we still need to accept it for what it is and do our level best, regardless of cause. These were some wise words!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604713846429464708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373462146240321888.post-72850835803561832232012-11-24T15:46:04.311-08:002012-11-24T15:46:04.311-08:00Goodness gracious, thank you for your kind words. ...Goodness gracious, thank you for your kind words. I read somewhere a long time ago when my son was young that if you are worried you aren't doing well enough, it probably means you're doing better than you think :) Just by that mere fact of concern, you end up doing better. I hope so anyway!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01366039503074899002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373462146240321888.post-50063958798926736952012-11-24T12:42:23.611-08:002012-11-24T12:42:23.611-08:00Very well said,Steph!
