There will always be times you will want or need to argue, confront or fight for something you believe in. Some people argue, confront or battle over almost anything, turning their lives into battles over relatively minor things. There is so much frustration living this type of life that the person loses track of what is really relevant. The truth is, life is rarely what we want it to be, and other people often don’t act as we would like them to. There are always going to be people who disagree with you, people who do things differently and things that don’t work out. Accepting this can lead to a more stress free life. Make sure you regularly reevaluate your priorities, get the facts and then assertively move forward to advocate for the “big stuff ” the child or your family needs.
