being calm for sure,lol. make everything fun. they wont want to learn if it isn’t fun, they wont want to do anything if it isn’t fun. they are kids, not even adults want to do things that aren’t fun.

Remeber this and repeat it to yourself often: This too shall pass.

When you are up rocking her all night because she won’t sleep, remember, this too shall pass.

When she has her first ear infection and you are shelling out 75 dollars for antibiotics, remember, this too shall pass.

When she ruins any attempt you have at a family fun day or some mommy relaxation time remember, this too shall pass.

Also? Dont’ forget to laugh. It’s crucial.

best,
DN

To remember who’s the parent and who’s the child. Don’t give them everything they want. And please SPEND lot’s of time with them. And since it’s a girl make sure she’s comfortable tlking to you about ANYTHING. You want to be the first to know everything.

dont be overprotective, let her do things and dont limit her life. like if she wants to go to the movies with a friend, dont stop her because u think something bad could happen while she is at the movie.

I’ll give myself an 8. I’m not a perfect parent by all means. There is always room for improvement.

My husband and I try to instill our beliefs into our children, and we are raising them in similar ways as our own parents raised us, however, not completely. What worked for them may not be working for us, so there are some changes here and there.
