They can perform basic (but very important) daily tasks.
Don’t underestimate how awesome simple daily tasks are. Things like feeding themselves, using the potty, and helping with chores around the house may seem like little things, but they each are a mom-win in their own right. Your children didn’t know how to do these things at birth. They had to be taught, and more than likely you were their teacher. That took patience, understanding, and the ability to adapt and learn how to respond to your child so they are actually learning and not throwing a massive fit.
So as you sit reading this, stealing your rare moments of quiet or maybe even waiting out a tantrum, you may feel like you are failing. It seems like there is always something more to be done. Are you teaching them everything they need to know? Are they really happy? Is your parenting ruining them??
The doubts will be endless, but you have all the answers you need in those little faces looking back at you.
Remember the mom-wins, big and small, and enjoy your kids!
