I am stunned by how difficult it is to change my parenting tactics to keep up with my little ones new skill sets. Each time she changes or advances I find myself bewildered at just how to parent this little different but overwhelming change.
Really she is just tweaking her technique, and that's all I need to do as well, only it I find myself baffled at what the little new change needs to be sometimes.
Sometimes its as simple as just skipping the counting, or coming up with clever consequences, but these things can really trip an unpracticed parent up. I have found it takes me about a week to even notice it's changed, and then at least another week of changing my thinking as to how to handle it.
Then I think, these are the most frustrating times for me as a parent because suddenly in all the chaos I have to solve a puzzle I didn't attend to make time for. Deep breaths. All is well.
