Mama, Do You Love Me?

My eight-year-old son loves this book. He told me so. He’s asked me to read it to him so many times. It’s a board book and usually board books are meant to be read to preschool kids. But I really bought this with him in mind.
I thought it would be a useful parenting tool. My son, like all children I suppose, is always testing the limits of my patience. We clash during mealtimes and homework time. Everyday. Most of the time I snap, raise my voice and nag. When I do, I feel bad. He looks like a wounded animal and I feel like a big bully. Everytime I lose my calm, I have a hard time changing back into a loving parent. To mend things between us I would make it a point to read this book to him at bedtime. It helps me reassure him that no matter what he does and no matter how I react, I will always love him.
