be more patient with my children

ah .. I am so enjoying the diverse life of being mother to a 6 yr old precocious girl child and a non-stop energetic 2 yr old boy child. I have been doing some reading .. and a lot of meditating and learning to keep my cool. I am working on recognizing my daughters feelings and validation them instead of trying to force her into how I think she should feel or react. She is a very bright child and thankfully we have a wonderful relationship where she talks openly to me. I never dreamed a first grader would be facing some of the challenges that I find her dealing with. They seem so much older than when I was that age.

I will leave it on my list for now since it is important to me, but I dont think it is something I could every accomplish because i thing we can all always do better with patience… unless I suddenly become a saint or enlightened or something like that!! Still.. a life long thing.
