This is a reminder that kids and babies won't "read the book". People will give you advice on parenting. People seem to love doing that. There are plenty of books to teach parenting and influencers and no shortage of people telling you their often unsolicited tips. It's sometimes annoying. People are supposed to be annoying sometimes. Remember, the kids are not the same as theirs or those kids in the books. They may not respond the way "the book" says they should.
It's more than just kids. It's all people. They will not respond the way they should or the way you expect sometimes.
That's ok.
Back to kids...they will be kids. And they will always observe your example. For good and bad, they will see and it will leave an impression. There's a lot that you'll not be able to control. More and more I'm learning. I expect I'll learn more. I hope I will. All signs point to understanding that less stuff is in our control. The thing you can control is your example.
It's ok to have emotions. It's not ok to act out of them. Especially anger. Being angry is fine, but acting out of anger is never ok. Moula has told us many times gusso ne maro. This is as wise as it is simple. Not easy though. Moula wouldn't repeat it if it was. Gusso ne maro is not a command to never get angry, rather it's loving advice to take a beat and not be controlled by it.
Taher, the kids aren't young anymore, but they're still watching. Do the thing.
