What an honest candid description little girl! I am impressed with your honesty! It seems especially funny to read about mood swings, as they appear so ridiculous! Tis true, mood swings strike us all! Mood swings have no age discrimination!
You know what I like best about this subject? As a parent, I want my children to feel happy. Before, if a mood swing showed up, I felt it was my job, to change it. I felt it was my responsiblilty to help my child get back to that good feeling place. I have learned over the years, that mood swings are not the enemy! Yes, that is true, you are reading this accurately! Mood swings are just as valid and bursts of JOY!
Why, you ask me? I think all emotions are valid. Why do we, as humans, label certain emotions as good and certain emotions as bad? Big deal if you are bored, irritated or even angry. It is your bodies way of communicating with you. I have found so much more peace, when I can allow my child to have a mood swing. It feels great to not get effected by it, and to know she will work it out.
I have mood swings. I do not want my mood swings to effect others. It is my journey. I will figure out what is upsetting me. Right?
p.s the funny thing about mood swings is, they can make for great stories!!
