That is wonderful. I know when Kris melts done we keep hoping and praying for him to be able to get out what is making him either mad or sad. Oh for the time when they get further and further apart and less and less severe.

It is almost as if she can not even access that part of her heart until she is spitting mad about something else(usually a trivial issue)...then the dam breaks and the grief comes pouring out...I love the 'big mad'/big sad' thing...I will use that next time we are faced with an episode. <br />Rejoicing with you in this...I understand what a big deal this is!!<br />Blessings,<br />kathiAll 8 of Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003886019879282514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27995445.post-50037472933562730092010-07-20T17:16:43.426-05:002010-07-20T17:16:43.426-05:00SO HAPPY for you and touched by your story...

How many of us figure it out so much later in life, or not at all!Jonathan D.

Parenting sure has it's ups and downs, but those breakthroughs sure make the tough times more bearable.<br /><br />On our home front, we had a huge milestone this week as both Hannah and Isaac made the decision (on their own) to be baptized. These are the moments/the blessings that make all the "crap" worthwhile.Jon Stolpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534636101927887066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27995445.post-57906271469436309162010-07-20T09:49:45.675-05:002010-07-20T09:49:45.675-05:00Blessed victories.
That is a big milestone! I t...Blessed victories. <br />That is a big milestone! I totally acknowledge that! We had been working on that with Patrick too. When he has crazy anger that comes out of nowhere for seemingly no reason I would tell him that I thought he was sad and it is o.k. to be sad but he should tell us so we can help him. Once he got that he really clung on to it. I think he tells us (with signs) he is sad more than he really is but that is o.k. It gives him practice in expressing a different feeling and us practice responding. Plus it keeps him from throwing himself on the floor screaming 100 times a day. I'll take him telling me he is sad over silly things than screaming any day. :)Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887928615513412979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27995445.post-66580057642834135562010-07-20T05:57:42.595-05:002010-07-20T05:57:42.595-05:00That's beautiful, Becky. :) You are both such...That's beautiful, Becky. :) You are both such wonderful parents.even one sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885265079358569547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27995445.post-51362587308860736842010-07-19T23:38:37.688-05:002010-07-19T23:38:37.688-05:00Praise the Lord!!

How wonderful that God gave you the discernment to get to the root of the issue and that Joshua was able to respond better as a result!! Wisdom and discernment are the two things I request from God most often, whether for myself or others. They are so critical for life in general, and parenting especially. May He continue to grant you such so that you can enjoy more happy endings like this one. (And, yes, I consider tears in front of a computer screen a happy ending!) ;)EEEEMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08152965556780402197noreply@blogger.com
