Controlling
Have you guys caught yourself as parents and other adults while trying to be controlling with your kids?For example trying to feed your baby as opposed to letting them have full control using their hands and utensils.
I’ve had to catch myself. What are we doing to overcome.Just curious.
I think you give yourself a pass. If you are catching yourself and change course, then your heart is in the right place. Kids don't have the physical coordination, desire for cooperation, or ability to predict the days events for them to get through an entire day without some form of coercion until they are pretty much school-aged. It helps to keep your schedule free and flexible, but you can't sweat it every time you tell your kids to put on your shoes and they can't/don't/won't. It's great when you have the time and capacity to let them practice their skills-the more you can do it, the better! But some days, you just do it for them to help both of you get through the day, and that's ok too. 🙂❤️👟👟
