And, not to underestimate the differences of circumstance. <br /><br />While parenting a baby was certainly not easy for me, I'm definitely making more mistakes as my child grows older. The challenges are to 1)figure out how to acknowledge the mistakes, and back-track, while still demonstrating confidence and 2) remembering that these mistakes are opportunities to learn. <br /><br />Lack of sleep for the first three years was hard hard hard for me. Day to day is certainly not harder now. I am stronger and more creative for getting more sleep. But often individual interactions or events certainly are more difficult. I also agree that relationships with others...teachers, friends, other parents, grandparents...add a different level of complexity as well.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375875788111144952noreply@blogger.com
