You know, I here this comment an awful lot from the parents in the child care field- "Oh they's grow out of it one day." They tend to come up with this idea to not sweat the, what they consider, small things such as the use of bad words, hitting, tantrums, rolling of the eyes, etc. Now, do not get me wrong, some things we learn as we grow but every situation in your child's life is an opportunity to learn.
Those tantrums that they throw should not be okay. They are having trouble expressing their emotions. Is this how we want to teach them to express themselves? Or can we use this as an opportunity to teach them how to take deep breathes, relax, use their words, talk to them?
I know, you are tired, do not have the time nor energy BUT how about we raise children who cope effectively in healthy ways because believe me..A two year old can learn how to calm themselves down but taking deep breaths, etc. I teach it in my classroom often.
Let's take time to teach our children and not leave it up to other adults who God only knows, how they handle or express their feelings. Let's take the time to invest in the healthy adults that we want them to be instead of coming up with every excuse why we shouldn't.
Let's Raise Up Champions!
In his Grace!
