“Strong-willed kids are a lot. It’s as though they were born to not only rock the boat, but crash it into an iceberg.
Yes, they’re a lot—of everything.
Their voice ricochets off of walls and it’s surprising glass doesn’t shatter.
If you take out their batteries, they still run wildly—literally never running out of energy.
Their emotions are more colorful than any rainbow.
They are more persistent than an old, grumpy bull.
They were born with an opinion—about everything.
Parenting one of these tiny torpedoes is grueling…because they’re a lot.
But after parenting (or trying to at least) one of these feisty little darlings, I’ve also learned that they need a lot.
Of our time,
Undivided attention,
Space to jump, run, and tumble,
Silence to make their own decisions,
Hugs and kisses,
