Parenting may come naturally for some, but it is not an easy task to take on. Even if you're lucky enough to be born with kids who are well-behaved from the get-go, there will always be hurdles along the way - things that can test even the most patient and understanding of parents. For instance, let's say your child is undergoing an emotional or behavioral crisis and there's nothing you seem able to do about it; or worse still, they're displaying some strange or unusual habits when they've never done so before (it happens). So how do we fix this situation?

I believe that change starts with our thoughts, and once we change our thoughts our behaviors will follow suit.
