Be the grownup

Throwing tantrums, showing off, and being
unwilling to share are just a few of the
childish tendencies moms often have to
face in their own lives. It's true that
becoming an adult happens naturally. Acting
like one, however, takes both help and
personal preseverance.

To be the kind of mom your children can
look up to and learn from, you need to
continue to mature every day of your life.
There's always some area you can grow up in.
Consider how you react when nothing goes
right and time is running out. Are you calm
or out of sorts? Just look to the life to
see how balanced, loving adult acts. Then
imitate your own way of life.
