Secret Number 1: There is NO "Mommy report card"
or in other words, your child's behavior does not reflect on you as a Mom.
You ARE a Good Mom and your kid is just being a kid!
If you don't make their "misbehavior" mean that you're a terrible mom, then it doesn't have such weight. It wouldn't "drive you crazy" when they do what they do if it meant that it was just them being them. AND you are Still a Good Mom!
You ARE a Good Mom and they ARE a Good Kid. And you both are humans doing the best you can. Now you can relax and wonder what's going on for them that is making them act this way and you can confidently handle the situation instead of feeling panic and needing them to stop asap so that you can feel better.
Feel better first by believing that you are a good mom, and then step in as that good mom that you know you are.
Try on the idea that there is no mommy report card. You are not failing if your kid is acting like a kid. (and he isn't either!)
