Talking to Myself

I can be the kind of mother I want to be, the kind I know will raise my children to be well and happy. That kind of mother is somewhere inside of me.

Take time to talk and listen.
Don't yell.
Don't scream.
Be patient: they are still learning.

Breathe.

Don't fight them. Help them negotiate the world by giving them confidence.
Give them confidence by making them safe.
