Weakness vs Strength

Our weaknesses are simply the over use of our strengths. When our children overuse their talents we may sometimes see them as character flaws or weaknesses.
For example. I have a couple of children who never lack for words. I often remind them that they have a ‘gift of words’ and that they are learning how to use it. That’s on my good days.
There are plenty of other days where I think ‘For the love! Would you stop talking!’ This thought typically comes to mind when I’ve stopped managing my own thought process. It happens.
I’ve realized that’s not the place I want to parent from. So I have to intentionally remind myself, ‘This really is a gift for them. They are still learning how to use it to their betterment. As their mom I would like to teach them how to work with it.’ That thought evokes a different feeling for me and I just might be a little more patient as I try to teach them how to read social cues. ;)
Sooo….the next time your child melts down or does something you don’t understand, could it possibly be that they are simply overusing one of their talents? How can you guide them through that?
