As a whole, my children tend to be very even-tempered and happy most of the time. However, lately, Emma has been getting extremely upset for no apparent reason. This has happened several times while we are at the Y and she is in the care of the Kid Care staff. Since they love her and she is normally extremely happy in their care, I'm drawing straws trying to figure out what's going on with her lately. Is it teething? Is it separation anxiety? What's going on?
This is one of those instances where parents feel useless trying to help their kids. I felt this same way recently with Carter when he was trying to walk. The poor guy would take a few steps and then his knees would buckle and he'd fall to the floor. After encouragement, he'd get up and try again but eventually he would get extremely frustrated and start crying. If I could have done something to help strengthen his legs, I would have.
What ways do you struggle to help your kids? I am curious to know what other mommas have found straining when they are doing everything they can to help their little babies.
