We should enjoy these times now.<BR/>Yeah, the emotional coaching for the kids is so worth it. I try to envision 3 Ivy league grads heading off to the peace corps with their self confidence in tow.

And while the moment might be difficult, the rewards of staying patient and helping the little one work through the problem while ensuring their emotional well being, is well worth the effort. I also find that these little “tests” at home help me maintain my perspective in other parts of my life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
