Life is an ongoing thing for us all and parenting young children can be a whirlwind that sweeps us along like a cyclone at times. When those times hit … our legs don’t seem sturdy like rods but more like flimsy stems of wilting flowers. All energy and will is threatened to be undone…. again.
It’s in those times it is good to have some solid instinct to fall on to guide us along. If we don’t have that …we may end up down at the level of those beloved kids of ours….overcome by tears or anger or frustration or any or all unwanted emotions.
We are here to offer a hand.
After raising five boys and three girls … I kind of know where of I come from…. the same place you are at now.
Parenting is a top of the line challenge.
Don’t despair! There is light and joy in these days! All we need is someone to tell us that and tell us that and tell us that.
If we can take a deep breath and three steps back from all those emotions…. we will have the joy. Our kids are just kids doing exactly what kids are supposed to be doing. We must always always always…. be the adult.
You can do it. I know you can.
Everyone needs help. There is no shame in that. We are here to do just that.
It may be a voice from someone not emotionally connected that is needed to get over a hump. We are so tightly tied to our children emotionally that often those emotions keep us from doing what we know is best for the child. A neutral link can get you back on track.
Sometimes that neutral link is an absolute necessity… and there is no shame there either.
We would like to be that link for you. We will do that by sharing universal dilemmas old as time.
Please come back.
We are just getting started.
