Still discovering the world and doing "firsts" but not yet in the 2's :) I think strong willed is a wonderful trait that may be challenging in the early years but will, hopefully, serve them well as they grow older.

I am able to zero in on my one and tailor myself to what is needed for him alone. If they know you love them and are trying, that makes up for a lot of things :)Burbs to Boonieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11595559242259847506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373462146240321888.post-41086265642645566042013-07-23T21:46:04.624-07:002013-07-23T21:46:04.624-07:00Something great to read--more than once.

She is very independent and strong willed too, so I think I will have my work cut out for me. But she is super smart and hilariously funny and sweet at the same time! Wouldn't change her for anything!

(like if I have to tell her no I can't play I have to hang laundry) :-) Thanks for this post its encouraging and helpful. I should print out your list and put it somewhere I can see it!Angelahttp://faithinmommyhood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373462146240321888.post-80608215999653780612013-07-23T07:02:11.202-07:002013-07-23T07:02:11.202-07:00Excellent post.

What works for one definitely doesn't work for the other. For me and my kids I've found the most important thing is to let them know I love them without fail-that it's given automatically and they don't have to earn my love, and I often ask forgiveness and point out when I've done or said something I shouldn't have. This goes a long way with them.Missy Homemakerhttp://www.missyhomemaker.comnoreply@blogger.com
