Having a teen and a three and half year old in the house is interesting sometimes, seeing the differences in age and at the same time the simalarities are also there. It's interesting to have the oldest one going through her stuff and the little guys is doing his own. Nothing is better than seeing the best sides of them both of course, but even the times they are not 'doing' what they should, well, it's not always easy but it has it's charm as well. Working with young people has shown me many different 'kinds' of kids and the behavior that matches. Sometimes it's not easy but if you can mangage to keep your patience and remember that's all part of growing up for the kids and the emotional struggles will go over faster than you and the child will think. Of course there are special situations/kids where no matter how 'good' a parent is, the choice ends up to be difficult and sometimes it's best for the child to get professional help. Ja ja... babbling on here. Gotta run folks.. Take care and be good.
