So as my daughter Shayla approaches the true 2 1/2 yr. old marker her tantrums are taking on a real, humbling genetic feel to them. This may sound pretty funny to you and indeed it is more so to me as I walk down the sidewalk Away from my duplex where inside her mother is dealing with one of Shayla's more frequent and intense meltdowns. If the paint on the living room walls could peel,....it would. Yes, we are a verbal family. I grew up that way, and I am certainly hard pressed to change that like being able to take the 'sand' out of sandpaper---it's hard to do.
When I was growing up, getting someone's attention in one of the house's peripheral bedrooms from the living room couch was not really all that difficult. You needn't get up, just raise your voice 13 decibels. Why exert the force required to stand up and walk to the bedroom when you can just holler (as we say in Texas)? Of course I am exagerating, but the reality is still somewhat a shadow of the past, however sobering that might be.
Kids give us the possibility of learning more from them than everything else in our lives Put Together. I firmly believe that now. I have the opportunity of learning From my daughter and actually changing my tack towards parenting and not just simply passing on my history of conditioning. Parenting will unabashedly show you the flaws of your character. God said: "Go forth and Multiply", but he would have done well to add the Prarie Home Companion departure slogan, "Be Well, and Do Good Work."
