Every parent faces challenging times when raising children, as children explore the world through testing boundaries and making messes. It is impossible to always remain calm during these situations. However, our job is to do our best and remember that children are learning. The added pressure to be the "best" parent can be overwhelming, but we must remember that what matters most is enjoying life and raising compassionate kids. Incorporating music, games, and decor from our own childhood into family life can help maintain enthusiasm and balance during parenthood.
