The last time you asked them to tidy their crayons, they smashed the whole box on the floor and ripped up the color sheet.
You have to psyche yourself up when you need them to turn off the TV, because…BOOM! Epic meltdown.

Does every request you make send your child into a raging meltdown?
You spend life walking on eggshells. (As well as Lego bricks.)

This is actually when your child needs you most of all.
