Homeschool Kid

  When you see your child growing, as a parent, you leverage your parenting in such a way that there will be more changed beliefs and attitudes on your part... and sometimes even when you feel hesitant to give up scolding, you still feel like doing so... then, after a minute... you find yourself charged with extra batteries of patience and begin to learn positive reinforcement, instead... you talk slower, gentler, kinder...and you see how your happy mood eventually changed your child's annoying behavior. Parenting has changed overtime...and I felt that... It's been changing me too since I realized there's a li'l boy needing a mom-friend, a mom-teacher in one. Every parent's guide to great parenting is no more than his/her own built-in abilities challenged to be re-built both in happy and annoying ways...
