Your relationship with your 7 child is unique. Do not compare it with others’. | Treasure the unique relationship and enjoy it. | Most of us do not have prior parenting experience, we learn to be parents on the job! So don’t be too harsh on yourself. Give yourself time to understand, observe, reflect and learn. Observe what triggers stress. Plan to eliminate triggers — for example, will packing the schoolbags the previous night and an easier menu in the mornings reduce the morning rush? Everybody in the world will have an advice on how you should raise your child. Learn to identify trust worthy and useful sources. You do not need to follow everybody's advice. Trust your doctor on medical issues and not what you read on the net! HaX=JaNl=enlel
