Share your calm, don't join his chaos. Little body, big emotions Give him a hug. Be his strong, confidence leader. Your words today become his inner voice tomorrow. He is not giving you a hard time, he is having a hard time. He is still learning. We are all entitled to our feeling. I am the adult. His emotions are not my emotions. I know. I hear you. I am here. I love you. Be clear, be calm, be consistent, be KIND.
