Be The Parent
After my daughter fell asleep, I began to mull over in my mind the events of the day. Was my two year old controlling my life?
Ha! She sure was. But WHY? Wasn’t I the parent?
That’s when I really began to do some soul-searching. I’d seen way too many parents of young children running themselves ragged to appease their children in every way. Giving in to each request was not something I’d planned on, but had just become the easy way out.
I knew what I’d have to do. I’d have to set rules and limits and follow through with them, and get this…ALL the time!
Not having had much practice at this, I knew I was going to be in for a treat once I began to implement it.
So the next morning, my little one stumbled out of bed and demanded a small bag of fruit juice snacks for breakfast. I rolled my eyes. Not the snacks for breakfast again! I was going to have to make a wise choice and serve her something nutritious instead…eggs and oatmeal maybe?
“No! No! No eggs! CHEWIES!” my daughter screamed. By the time I had adamantly refused the second time around, she was on the floor pouncing and flinging herself all over the place.
“Just be calm” I told myself. “She’ll figure out soon enough that you aren’t going to budge.”
And she did.
And she stood up, sat at the table, and ate eggs and oatmeal.
How easy was that!
Being the parent has become a whole lot easier now that I’ve realized the importance of setting limits.
Setting limits is not an overnight process. It takes some time. I am aware that there will be plenty of mornings awaiting me when I will be faced with new and different challenges. But you know what the best part of this journey is?
Being the parent.
