Forming Their Normal

http://www.thebettermom.com/2012/05/forming-their-normal/

“….It got me thinking about how we are creating our kids’ normal….”

Two quotes from the post:

1.  “I’m talking about the kind of normal where it just seems natural, logical…second nature.
Habits formed.
Patterns woven.
Instincts chiseled.
Grooves worn into the foundation of every day life.

 

2.  “But patterns and habits are difficult to break–
To change what has become our normal.
It was just a reminder that every single day
Little eyes are watching…
Little ears are listening…
My patterns, my responses, my norms…slowly becoming theirs.”
