Hey there, it’s me—your future self who’s knee-deep in the endless “why” questions and barely keeping my eyes open past 9 p.m. while the kids are still buzzing around like it’s a party at 10. Just thought I’d reach out with some reminders for those moments when your little one decides to test your patience.

So here it goes:

1. She’s a Mini-You: Let’s face it; you’ve always been pretty stubborn too. You’ve got a long line of determined women in your family, and she’s just following in those footsteps. So when she’s acting up, remember—it’s the same fire in both of you.
2. Avoid Direct Orders: If you tell her to stay away from something, chances are she’ll be drawn to it like a magnet. Instead of barking orders, try to guide her subtly. Embrace the chaos; it’s bound to entertain you!
3. Lift Her Up: Your job isn’t to break her spirit. The world will do that enough. She’s already her own harshest critic, so remind her that life isn’t a race. It’s a learning experience, and everyone starts somewhere.
4. Introduce Role Models: As she grows, she might think you’re totally uncool (it happens to the best of us). Bring in other inspiring women for her to look up to—she’ll appreciate it more than you know. And definitely steer her towards good books that will resonate!
5. She’s Got Her Own Wisdom: Though you’ve been around longer and feel like you know it all, she has her own insights. Pay attention and learn from her; she’s been schooling you since day one.
6. Push Her Gently: There will be times when you need to encourage her to try new things, whether it’s sports or family gatherings. She might resist, but in the long run, she’ll thank you for it. Just pick your battles wisely!
7. Give Her Space: Sometimes, she needs room to figure things out. She’s capable and will find her own answers—so let her! Just take a step back and let her shine.
8. Use Humor: When things get tense, a good laugh can do wonders. Never underestimate the power of a well-timed joke—especially the silly ones that involve bodily functions. Seriously, laughter is a lifesaver!
9. Be Kind: It’s easy to lose your cool, but remember how you want to be remembered. Kindness goes a long way, and it’s what you want to embody for your little one.

That’s it! Just a little reminder to keep perspective when the going gets tough. You’ve got this!
