Thriving Parents

shifting Parenthood from barely surviving to thriving

Dear me tomorrow: Patience

Being patient is hard but is important because our kids won't always be watching.

Dear me tomorrow,

Please remember to be more patient.

Your children are looking to you for love and comfort and empathy.  They aren’t very good at expressing their emotions and their frustration isn’t meant to be personal.

These children are watching you so that they learn how to treat others in their own lives.  Be the person you want them to become.

Tomorrow they will forget your impatience.  Forgive yourself.  Give yourself grace.

Forget all the noise and be in the moment.  These babies won’t be babies forever.  They won’t always be watching.

Love,
Impatient me of yesterday

 

Pin this to save for later!

Being patient is hard but is important because our kids won't always be watching.
