One of our small children, who does not read, and who shall remain nameless, has been very difficult lately.
We've had tantrums. We've had obsessive focus on ridiculous things. We've had writhing and screaming (another name for tantrums, I guess.) In short, said child has been a real pain in the neck.
Don't get me wrong. I love this kid. To the moon and back.
I also know "this too shall pass." With our older kids, I sometimes wondered if something was seriously wrong when a child was going through "a phase."
I know better now. Sometimes a kid is just annoying for a season. We discipline. We love. We pray.
And then the really difficult phase passes.
The sooner, the better.
