Kid's Reality

Oops, I forgot to write yesterday! During Sadie's break from school, we've been doing kids' bedtime together, and as you might imagine, it's been going smoother. Where things a little easier, I haven't felt as much need to think about my parenting, so this blog hasn't been on my mind.

Anyways, lately I've been thinking about something I heard another dad say awhile back. He said one thing he's learned as a dad is that kids are in their own world, and often their world doesn't overlap with reality. They're still developing listening skills and it isn't realistic to expect them to always pick up on everything you say. It's like a Venn Diagram:

Remembering this has helped me have more patience when it seems like talking to my kids is like talking to a wall.
