It's easy for kids to parrot what adults say, and so much is made of grade level. I doubt that was the true source, though. My own insecurities weren't a &quot;stage&quot; though. I just learned not to talk about them because I wasn't taken seriously. Patenting is hard. It requires so much humility and the ability to see from another perspective and a willingness to be correctable. I found it so overwhelming I preferred to blog about theoretical parenting rather than face my kids. But thankfully I'm reconnecting and am better able to see the world from their eyes. What horrible mistakes I made because I was trying so hard to be a good parent! Praise God his grace is enough.</p>
