[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let him relate to them in his own/preferred way. (For example, taking them for nature walks, dancing around with them, etc. - whatever brings out that joy.)

I am not a little-baby-and-toddler person (and I'm the mom!). [b]My DH gets frustrated sometimes when I say I'll get more into parenting when our kid gets older. But it's true. Some people are just not good at certain ages[/b]. A kindergarten teacher probably wouldn't make an ideal newborn nanny or college professor. As long as he's warm and loving, you need to just accept that this is not his favorite season of childrearing. [/quote]

Re: The bold, asking seriously and not snarkily, PP: If your kid is still in the young stage, how do you know for sure that you will get more into parenting when he or she gets older? That can depend a lot on the child's personality, not just age. Do you have good relationships with older nieces and nephews or whatever, making you feel confident you'll "get more into parenting" in an undefined future? Becuase we say on these threads that "the parent just isn't liking/isn't great at the baby stage/toddler stage/kindergarten stage and things will change," but what if things don't change?[/quote]
