As a parent I have noticed a few things… I find myself aging at a rapid pace, more grey hair, and I am constantly saying the phrase, “GOD PLEASE GIVE ME STRENGTH!” Before having kids I use to think that the terrible twos was just a myth. My son Christopher was the best child that anyone could ever ask for. As a baby he would sleep through the night, he never really cried much. All in all he was a happy baby and I was a happy father.

Let me share an excellent example that my co-worker shared with me… She told me that if my son refused to go to bed at night it was because he was mentally connecting the act of going to bed with something that was unpleasant to him. That was just one of many examples that she had shared with me. It was almost as if she had been hiding in the shadows of my home eavesdropping into my life. She knew exactly how my son was behaving.
