		<description><![CDATA[Burnout, I think, is a result of unrealistic expectations we set for ourselves, constant self-criticism if we do not meet those expectations, feelings of not getting acknowledged for what we put into parenting and taking on too many responsibilities because of thinking it will make us  better mothers.

		<description><![CDATA[Try, try and try again – that is the motto of a toddler. During the toddler years, your child learns through trial and error.  It helps the toddler that he can now recall things that happened hours or even days earlier.  Children begin to understand cause and effect and anticipate consequences.  If I drop the toy when I am sitting in a high chair, mommy will bend down and pick it up – again and again...]]></description>
