And I love you everyday. (It’s a phase that will end … another will begin🤦🏽‍♀️)

Let me give you some space but I'll always be here for you when you need me

tell him to sit down then😆

II would say "i understand. That's ok. Can You tell me why? "

'i totally understand you, because sometimes im outstanding in what i do' '😁

I emphasize the importance of addressing the problem with the behavior rather than attacking the person. I’ve been intentional about it early on (conscious parenting since birth for both sons) so it’s a principle that’s instilled & when my son says hurtful things I don’t react & will say “I see you need some time to process. When you’re ready to talk we can talk love dove.” & he’ll come back around & apologize & say something like “I’m sorry for being mean. I felt frustrated because xyz” I /1

Well kiddo, is it me you can’t stand or something I did you can’t stand? Both are okay, just remember that even though you can’t stand me at times, I love you the most during those times. There will always be people that you can’t always stand, but those are the times they may need your understanding the most (mine is 14) then I mess up his hair to get him going

‘ yes we all feel like that about people we love sometimes’

My son is only seven, but he sometimes says things like this. “That’s OK, Bud. I love you anyway, even when you’re mad at me. You’re a good kid having a hard time.”

Totally normal, sometimes even the most loved person drives you nuts.
