advice..

[sarahbrown1220]

I would say that when it comes to raising your children, don't take anything personally and sometimes you've got to just let them cry.  Not in the "cry it out" way- in the hold them, rub their backs and let them cry.  I can't think of a more secure feeling than having a safe place to fall. 

Sometimes at the end of the day my oldest is tired, cranky and sometimes weepy.  I'll admit that this can get annoying, but I try my best to give her a hug, tell her I love her and let her use my shoulder to get her frustrations out on.

I think that's excellent advice!!!  I only figured that out a few months ago with my 3 yr old's cranky/weepy tantrums.  And do you know what?  I actually have a song called "Safe Place to Fall" and I'm going to record it today and send it to you!  :)
