Child Whisperers
Aug 29, 2022
Dear Parent,
I am often asking you to become Child Whisperers. Our kids buck and kick and rear-up like wild, saddle-shy horses, not cute little puppies licking you to death for attention. Parenting your child is a delicate dance that only you can do. You are going to get kicked along the way, but there will be a palpable calm that comes over your home down the road once your bucking bronco learns to trust you.
You are earning your moniker every day, Child Whisperer.
Love matters,
Ce
