Second guessing your parenting decisions?

Ever say or do something in disciplining your child then wish you could take it back? Parenting can be stressful at times. Sometimes we just have to guess as to which action is the best one. An then we wonder about our choices.

Nature takes care of everything in exactly the best way for us.

When your kids are small you go through frustrations that leave you thinking, "I will be so glad when they are older and this behavior is behind us."

Then they get older and guess what--new behaviors, more heavy duty ones, replace the previous ones. In fact, as a parent your life may always have times you wonder or feel concern.

Those feelings go with the territory.

Here is what is so magnificent about Nature.
All the bad times, especially the pain (for example the physical pain of giving birth, the all nighters with a sick child--those kinds of things)fade into a blur. All the good times--those memories brighten over time.


As a parent of a teen what I want you to know is to hang in there. The toghest years seem to come when your teen is aged 15 and 16. So stick it out until they reach 17 and life again will flow more smoothly--probably. That is not to say there will not be bleeps and bumps--just that the heavy duty stuff tends to fall away.

Such is Nature's gift to us to ensure we want to enjoy more than one child.

Parents: How to Put Balance into Your Life

As parents who are aware you are role models for your kids sometimes you think you have to be super person. Even when your life gets very stressful or you feel overwhelmed--you push yourself to the point of exhaustion--or even worse, to disease and conditions--all because you do not want anyone, most especially your kids, to know you are struggling.

Sometimes you act that way thinking your kids are counting on you to be there and do for them, that their lives will be less than perfect if you "fail" them.

Sometimes you think you are protecting your kids. You get the notion they would be worried or feel less secure if their parent was having some problems that needed to be handled instead of being there 100% for them.

What if your child saw you have needs of your own AND, perhaps more importantly, you are taking care of those needs?

Do you think you might possibly be better able to handle full out parenting again when you have resolved whatever issue was stealing your energy? Afterall, if you are parenting at 56% while 44% of your mind is preoccupied with the "problem," do you see your child's well being may suffer as well as your own?

Part of being a great parent is taking care of yourself so you can continue to be a great parent.

Remember, your child's best teacher...is you!
