Our mood affects our responses to our child. On a good day, when we’re relaxed and cheerful, a mess is just a mess, and it requires a sponge. On a difficult day, it feels as if your child has intentionally created a disaster just to make you crazy!

We aren’t perfect beings, and we should never expect perfection of ourselves, just as we shouldn’t expect our children to be perfect angels every day.
