Reply to "A lesson from my toddler"

Passion Fruit...I love your name. Very sweet story. The one major thing I learned from newborns, infants, toddlers, little ones, teenagers and young adults too, is that they don't miss a trick from their parents. They are watching us every step of the way. They are like sponges that soak up EVERYTHING, good, bad and ugly. We are their teachers and they will learn what they live. We all screw up have made mistakes. Before I started therapy I never gave any thought to early child development. Now I know how utterly critical it is to have good, healthy models from pregnancy through the first three years, continuing, of course, for a lifetime. Hopefully, we do a better job than our parents. I learned it's not about blaming, but about understanding and processing the experiance.
