You're too kind; I'm just doing my best like any other parent! You're absolutely right; every situation is unique and often defies one-size-fits-all solutions. Books can only do so much; real-life experiences and spontaneous decisions will certainly play a huge part in this parenting adventure.You sound like an awesome, sensitive parent. Just remember that despite all the books and advice, every situation is unique, and you'll need to make some things up as you go along - we're all winging it really. There's no such thing as a perfect parent; just keep doing your best and keeping them fed, clothed and in school seems like a good enough goal to me!
I find that as long as we keep an open mind, stay aware of our children's emotions, and provide them with plenty of love, we're already halfway there! Thanks so much for the kind words; I hope your parenting journey is going swimmingly too!
