[quote=Anonymous]I think kids get much easier (and then sometimes harder depending on the kid). But assuming you have typical developing children, elementary school aged kids are pretty great. They go to school, are pretty self sufficient, develop in to their own personalities in a way that is really quite fun to watch and don’t require you to wipe their bums or faces. And one thing they had helped me with any challenges my children have faced is repeating to myself that my children are not extensions of me. The point isn’t to make them in to versions of me. It is to help them become better versions of who they can be. If they aren’t as academic or social or athletic as I am or I would like them to be, that’s ok. It is not a reflection on me. [/quote]
