It is no secret that parenting is difficult. It requires more patience than you could ever imagine, and you don’t get any sick days. I have been a parent for all of five years now and am learning more and more every single day. I have been learning what type of tone, phrasing, and body language to which my son best responds. 

It doesn’t come as a surprise to me when he responds to a positive tone, kind words, and open arms.
