Every time I see my toddler melt into tears of frustration (no, wait -- that's too tame for what he does: Explode into tears of rage), and then get over it 5 min. later, I realize that's what I need to do: Let it out. Express (in some way) my full disappointment and move on. But we grown-ups far too often hold our feelings inside, nurturing resentments and irritations. Sometimes I think we'd all do well to learn from the little people beside us! Jenny I’m with you.
