I have three kids. The noise never stops. And I will always have something to talk about. ERRRRYYYDAY. And today, my little 2yo has learned to shout STOP IT at everyone. Especially at me and Topher. She doesn’t want me to talk. She doesn’t want Topher to sing. She demands it to stoppppp! ✋ And guess who uses the STOP IT phrase everrrrryday. Me. She learned it from me. 😣 I have to stop shouting STOP IT. It’s not a nice thing to hear at all when it’s reflected back at me. If it’s not something I’d say to another person, I shouldn’t be shouting it to my kids. #sorrykids #untigeringme #respectfulparenting #positiveparenting #growingasaparent #parenting #asianparenting #minime #whentheycopythebadthings https://www.instagram.com/p/CRyoc_In2RH/?utm_medium=tumblr

we started playing with bows and arrows the other day, and the kids have been happily building walls using @connetix_tiles and shooting arrows by @treasuresfromjennifer. lots of learning through play happening here, and it’s been a lot of fun! 🎯 today, the yellow arrow went missing after a shot went wild. Topher isn’t sure what happened and he said it went “that way”. 👈 I was tired after a long day at work, and I was close to getting upset and losing it over a missing piece from their newish set. I really like having things kept in full sets so it really was hard for me. These frustrating thoughts ran through my mind, “It’s new! One piece was missing! It cost money! Why weren’t they being responsible for their toys! I can’t give you nice things!” 😡 But I didn’t. I kept quiet, keeping my litany of upsets to myself. It was all in my head. I watched them get a torchlight, and work together to try to find the missing arrow, no one was too worried or anxious about it. They were trying. And then I felt much better, knowing that that my children were not going to stress about one missing piece from their set and go crazy like me. Or feel guilty about it. It was an accident and crazy things do happen to flying objects. It’s OK. 🌈 #untigeringme #learningtoletgo #parentingtheloongs #learningtobeabetterparent #momlyfe #parentingmyway #parenting #peaceandcalming #noshameparenting #noguiltparenting #lovethesekids https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3ENpjH8Hm/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is my mom and dad. ❤️ I miss them a lot. I’m a parent now. And I have so much to learn from and show to my own kids. 🥰 But I will always remember and love my parents who raised me. They’ve given me all the traits that make me that unique person who I am today. Bad or good. ❤️ Also, feeling even more grateful to them when changing poo nappies. 😂 #mymomanddad #missyoumom #aboutme #untigeringme #untigering #gentleparenting #respectfulparenting #funparenting #findyourjoy #passionateaboutparenting #parenting https://www.instagram.com/p/CPxCy4CH1o8/?utm_medium=tumblr
