Understanding Life and Kids

Nope, sorry this isn’t the book you’ve been looking for that will answer all your questions….this is more question than answer.

What exactly is it that allows our brains to accept that things that our children do are things we will allow and heal from, yet if somebody else says or does something that hurts us, we push them away or we fiercely defend ourselves.

Children, especially kids going through their change into adulthood and trying to reach into maturity can be tough. We had an incident this weekend, where we had to talk about the difference between how a boy would react and how a man would react. Sometimes it takes swallowing your pride, humbling yourself and saying what needs to be said. That can be hard for a kid who feels awkward. Difficult times call for difficult feelings at times, and that’s something we had to learn this weekend.

It’s an odd process watching emotional changes as a boy struggles to be a man and as a slowly emerging man struggles to remain a boy as long as possible.
