Embrace your child’s uniqueness
A common theme here: every child is different. My children are stubborn and emotional and some days just plain crazy. On the days that are harder than others, I try to look at the positive of all these traits that drive me crazy. They will fight for what they want in life, they will be sensitive and empathetic towards others and they will seek out the fun and enjoyment in life. There are some things you can’t change and some things you can’t force. You can’t force a child to eat, you can’t force a child to sleep and you most certainly can’t force a child to be someone they are not or to feel something they don’t feel. So, to keep yourself sane, embrace the things that make your child unique. Love them for their crazy selves so they can learn to love themselves too.
