I have a 21 months daughter myself and desperately trying to learn parenthood by trial and error. I realize though at the end of the day - its just your instinct and the love of your own parents that you can fall back on. But your piece of advice is great.Kritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827714509776261027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2137566301036862761.post-87241318951564475702011-02-09T11:32:57.817-08:002011-02-09T11:32:57.817-08:00As a parent of 2 grown girls and 1 boy,, you'v...As a parent of 2 grown girls and 1 boy,, you've taken me back to the joys and frustrations of raising them. And sure there will be tantrums, and tears, but they're testing the boundaries, testing you, to see how strong you are. Too often parents give way, and that's a failure in their eyes. Kids want strong, loving parents. Even though they rebell, it's their way of seeing how true your character is. As they mature, they'll love you more because you were strong, and helped them accept where life's boundaries are. <br />Ever noticed how angry young kids are, the ones who have never had strong loving parenting?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618511960243841803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2137566301036862761.post-89489607546579055232011-02-09T08:44:26.319-08:002011-02-09T08:44:26.319-08:00Jim - you rock - thanks a ton!!
