Start looking at your kids as little people you can LEARN from.

Not just little people you have control over.

For instance with my 2 they definitely taught me how to be more patient and how to control my anger. Kids teach us many things most of the time we don’t even realize it.

Also allow them to have boundaries and everything else with you. They’re allowed to tell us no, to leave them alone, tell us they need space, question us, etc. If we ignore those things it can cause them to feel as if their voice doesn’t matter when they’re older. Then they’ll be more prone to being walked over and taken advantage of all because they’re afraid to speak up for themselves.

Don’t look at everything as talking back or being disrespectful. Don’t look at it as me saying let your kids run you either. All I’m saying is let them teach you things and also establish healthy boundaries with you. It’s normal. #Motherhood101
