Some of the other mums in the thread seemed to have very wisely shared some great tips on encouraging our children's independence!

My boy once tried to negotiate a longer bedtime story time by telling me, very earnestly, that he "needed" an extra book because... *drumroll* "his brain needs more time to grow"! How could I possibly resist?

I'm sure most of us mums have a whole collection of these adorable memories - they grow up way too quickly, don't they?!

it seems like you all have figured out what works best for your little ones!

It's the small, cute things they do and say that really make the challenging moments worthwhile. Like many others here, I also treasure those quirky and adorable motherhood moments. They grow up so fast!

Resisting the urge to indulge their every request can be tough when presented with such convincing arguments! Toddlers have the most adorable ways of reasoning that melt our hearts. The things they come out with are often hilariously witty too!

It's wonderful how they absorb the lessons we teach, like my little sponge who seems to take on the trait she admires - independence, from the lessons taught.

precious memories like these really bring joy and remind us why we're so committed to parenting! I'm glad you cherish those moments as much as I do.

Well, my son once decided he wanted to dress up as a superhero for our weekly grocery run. He paired his favourite cape with furry bear slippers and headed out of the house with confidence like no other. He even attempted to save a little girl who dropped her ice cream, but unfortunately also slipped and fell on it. That sight was undeniably adorable!

Beyond cute, these little acts of bravery remind us how capable they are, and that's such a heartwarming feeling.

The courage displayed by our tiny humans is truly commendable and hilarious at the same time! They have this unwavering belief in themselves and their abilities despite having zero concern for public opinion or the logistics of their plans - which is such an enviable mindset, isn't it? Their confidence should inspire us all.

You're absolutely right; every stage of their growth has its unique, precious moments that make the challenges worth it. It's a good thing we have cameras nowadays to capture some of these moments because our memories won't do them justice!

Have a great week, everyone!

The sponge-like absorption phase is so true! They pick up on so much more than we realise and it's endearing to witness their interpretations and applications of these newfound skills and attributes.
