Enjoy your toddlers!
Laugh with them, play with them, cuddle and tickle often and enjoy the moment.
Splash in puddles on a rainy day.
Make tents inside on rainy day and have an indoors picnic.
Play dress ups and bake - don't stress over the mess - enjoy their joy!
Take heaps of photos and pour over them often
- remind your child how special they are to you.
Teen tip - enjoy your teen!
CAtch a movie together,
drink at a cafe or play board games,
just enjoy this stage too!

Problem Patience
Do you sometimes wish that your toddler would exhibit self-control NOW?
You feel like you have explained why not to touch the tools, the light switches, the heater etc etc hundreds of times, yet they still touch!
You model a quiet, pleasant voice, day after day, and your little treasure still chooses to whine!
You role-play table maaners and encourage the good you see, and meal times are still often a disaster.
Do not lost heart - you will reap in a different season to the one in which you are sowing.
Teen Tip - Calmly responding to your teen with quietness and patience in conflict situatuions will eventually reap rewards.
