A Final Word: This Time Together Is Shorter Than You Think
When your child was born, your life changed beyond recognition. You became a parent. But this was just the beginning. Parenthood is a job that constantly evolves and presents different challenges with each new phase. When you were the parent of an infant, you were totally absorbed in meeting your child's daily needs from moment to moment. You had to figure out if she was hungry, tired, or wet, or if she wanted to be held or stimulated. Your own needs became completely secondary to this tiny new arrival in your life. When your child grew to be a toddler, your role changed. With her new-found mobility, she began to explore and discover her world, presenting you with a very different set of challenges. She was in constant motion and often in potential danger, needing your supervision at all times.
Now that your child has reached preschool age, your role is changing again. Your energetic toddler has turned into a curious, adventurous, social, assertive, and physical preschooler. She has language to express herself and will tell you exactly what she thinks. She'll begin to deliberately disobey you and needs you to be clear, firm, and consistent so that she can feel safe. For a child at this age, everything is new and needs to be learnedmaking friends, toilet training, gaining a baby sibling, sharing toys, putting on clothing. As she grows and becomes ready to venture into the new world of school, teachers, and classmates, she'll be experiencing an unprecedented degree of independence. You'll need to take a half step back so that she can take one step forward. You'll constantly have to adjust your expectations for your child and for yourself. This can be an exciting yet mystifying time, requiring you to find your voice as a parent and to make decisions about your child's education for the first time. From now on, the choices you make who you are and what you say and doare going to have a profound influence on your child.
