Being the mother of a spirited child is not always easy. Sometimes it’s challenging, often exhausting, and always rewarding. When others see snippets of my boy’s spirited nature they might quip that he’s ‘too loud’, ‘talks too much’, ‘interrupts’ or ‘doesn’t listen’. What they don’t always see, is that he is highly inquisitive, very analytical, has a HUGE heart, and is brilliant. My hope for him is that he has the patience to allow others to see these wonderful traits, and that he grows thick skin when some don’t always reciprocate that patience for his personality. As moms, we have great hopes for all of our children. Here are mine for my boy.

Do you have a spirited child? We all have big dreams for our kids, here are some hopes I have for mine, it includes the patience for those who don't always understand him.
