Our Patience Tip for this Week: Be the Grown Up….
One thing I’ve heard from other moms that I really took to heart was this: “You’re the grown-up, act like it.”
I refuse to get into a yelling match, or a tit-for-tat situation with my kids. If they throw a fit, I used to try to fix it. I’ve learned now to walk away, and let it be. I have to always be the most mature, sensible, caring person in the room because my child is watching. Resorting to their level will never be effective, it will actually sabotage any efforts you’re making.
It’s hard sometimes to refrain from stomping your feet and screaming like a 3 year old, how do manage to keep yourself in check and remain the grown up when dealing with your kiddos?
