Teach Vs. Learn

We see a lot of hissy fits- tantrums, crying, whatever you want to call it- around here. Brooklyn and Mackenzie are very dramatic. Mackenzie is a perfectionist. Brooklyn is also very particular. They both want things to be exactly fair. Robert likes to call it "personality" but I just call it "naughty."

This behavior tends to upset me and think I just have to TEACH these kids that it is NOT OK to act like that. Which may be true.

I'm starting to realize that maybe the most important thing is for me to LEARN to how to react. Can I show a little patience? Can I show a little love? Can I teach through example? Working on it.
