Sometimes. . .

you don't like your kids. Or what your kids are doing. But really maybe it's because they're just mirroring what you don't like about yourself. And your parents probably had the same reaction to you. And their response was to shut you down. And that's how you respond to your kids because it's been imprinted on you. Every aberrant behavior by children must be nipped in the bud! But instead of breaking your kid's spirit, you just break your own.

Or maybe you want to just let it go. Let them be free and experience their wild selves. And it's impressive what they can do with their power. Maybe you're a little frightened by it. And also who can live in chaos? And it's bad for kids to live in chaos.

And every day is a happy unhappy medium.
