You are raising a human being with thoughts, needs, ideas, and a personality all their own.
They aren't perfect anymore than you are, and expecting perfection will only lead to conflict, not connection.
When they make mistakes, choose understanding - not anger.
When they make poor choices, choose guidance - not punishment.
When they challenge your authority, choose peace - not warfare.
Remember, you are growing a person, not a problem.
