i was watching my cousin, who is only years old, being a pretty good motherly figure towards my year old nephew while were hanging out today. it is interesting to see how well she performs at a young age when dealing with kids, and how patient she stays when most adults would not be able to.
it is a good sign that she shows that kind of care to them
it really is. i was caught off guard by the compassion and ability to take all the frenetic activity going on around her in stride and stay calm and talk to the children respectfully, trying to teach them instead of just yelling at them. i do not know if i will be that good when i am a parent.
