Kicking soft snow or the tops off from dandelions can also offer the active feet an alternative. Running in an open space or even around a couple of chairs might work, too. It is only natural that these strong emotions are sometimes expressed in our relationships with our children, for they are the people in whom we invest our greatest love, our most intense feelings and our highest expectations.
