"The baby was born and your life was changed more than you ever dreamed…no one told you the change was irreversible."
Roseanne Ambrose Brown
 
  There are many reasons parenting is a challenge. Here are just a few:
 
 

1. Your child's unique temperament

It has happened to all of us at one time or another. Our child does something for no particular reason that drives us crazy and we wonder 'why?' 'what am I doing wrong?'. Often in this scenario, the answer is nothing at all. You are simply witnessing the natural unveiling of your child's individuality and inherited nature, the building block of your child's behavior for all later years. A child's individual temperament can be extremely challenging especially if you are not aware of what that temperament is or how to most effectively handle it.

2. Trusting yourself as a parent

Often, we carry ineffective parenting habits from our parents or have unresolved issues from our own childhood that come back to haunt us. This can make it difficult to listen to ourselves about what we think our child needs and it can also make us feel like a failure. We end up having daily clashes with what we think is best and the way we ourselves have been brought up. It only makes it worse when people start putting their two bobs in about our ineptness as parents...grandparents can be particularly skilled at this!

3. It takes a village to raise a child

Modern Western culture teaches us that it is normal to care for our babies without any help, locked up in our own little houses, often feeling isolated. In other places in the world, people think this is crazy and ask 'How can you raise a child without the help of sisters, mothers, aunts, grandmothers, friends and neighbours?' And it is no wonder. While we raise our babies in virtual solitude, particularly if you are a single mum, other people in the world have a plethora of helpers to offer support, share the workload and join in the fun.

4. Modern life itself

Our modern life is not set up to help us raise toddlers, in fact it makes it more difficult! In a world which is increasingly technical and consumer-oriented, stillness and peacefulness are virtues which too few toddlers are entrenched with. Instead, chaos often reigns, accompanied by rushing them here and there and buying all the right gadgets. Activities have become increasingly over-stimulating, replacing imaginative play, real life experience and exploration with a much more hurried existence for young ones.

5. Feelings of frustration naturally arise

Toddlers' behaviour can be extremely frustrating especially when nothing you do seems to be working. Often, if we can focus on why we are doing all this, why we are putting so much time and energy into this little Being, it can make the frustrations much easier to bear. You are raising a child to be the best person they can be - of course that is going to bring with it enormous challenges. If you remember the strong value in your role as a parent, it makes all the frustrating moments worthwhile.
