I have a friend who is a new(ish) mother like I am. She is a wonderful person, but I think she could use some advice/perspectives from other moms of fiesty and spirited kids. Her son is 18 months old and the definition of a spirited kid. He is loud, he is active, he cries loudly when he is sad or wants something, and laughs loudly when he is happy. He is also charming and engageing!
Can you comment on how you see your child''s personality? How do you perceive his/her behaviour? How does it make you feel when he/she is being "difficult" and challenging? What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? How do you keep your negative feelings, when you have them, from coloring your interactions with your child? How often do you feel negatively towards your child?
I know you are all busy but this would mean a lot to her I think... I will pass your answers along.
