Many older parents want to tell us what to expect with our children during certain seasons of life, but no two kids are the same, which means we don’t parent them the same way.
For instance, my kids never went through the terrible twos or threes or had a tantrum in public, but I kept expecting it to happen 🤷🏽♀️
Children also have their own personalities that direct and influence our parenting styles, so I’m not the same parent for each of my children.
With parenting, there’s a new learning curve in every unknown season of life.
Even though others will give you advice on what to expect, many of us won’t actually experience it. This is because there are so many factors involved:
• You’re a different parent than them
• You have different parenting styles
• You have different communities of support
• Your children’s birth orders are different
• Your life experiences that guide your parenting are different from others.
…and so so much more.
Just remember, there are many ways to raise kids- not just one. So if anyone gives you advice or a warning about what’s to come, remember that you may not go through it.
You’re doing amazing💙
