Meeting a child's needs part 1

When we see parenting as the job of trying to control children's behaviour, parenting is a struggle because we cannot control children's behaviour. When we see our job as that of meeting children's needs, we enjoy our children, because we can meet children's needs.

Went I first started out as a parent I was trying to hard to fit Ara into my life...I was trying to bend her in so many different directions and she really did not want to go. Most of the time she screamed her protests.

Once I learned that we had to work together my life became so much more pleasant and I really fell in love with Ara for being her self.
