“When your child seems to manipulate you by oversuadling or invented your emotions, remember that he is still a small child, not a member of the mafia” (quote from Laura Markham’s book “Quiet Parents, Good Sibling Relationships”).

I think that sometimes, in those storms of feelings with the children, I really feel so helpless, kidnapped by two mafia and tortured into panages by interfering with knives, that you want to defend myself, become Al Capone myself, pack them up and put them in jail. At least for a short time. But in the midst of the storm, if I can inspire and look at that little one as a growing, learning being, I put all my weapons aside at once and only the only one – the most effective – hug, cuddle and acceptance of myself (the bish mafia) and another feeling (bish mafia) ❤️
