Example: I’m awful when it comes to the kids waking up throughout the night. It’s not so much that I don’t deal with it well, cause I do, but more that the prospect of it causing significant anxiety in me.
It’s something I’m working on every single day, but still something that gets the better of me at times, especially now I’ve got a school age kid who’s coming home sick every few days.
Where do you feel like you need to improve as a parent?
This is awesome advice. We learned so many best practices the hard way growing up, unfortunately the kids really do have to learn some of their own lessons. These lessons are relatively harmless and help them build trust in your judgement for more important lessons later.
