Watching my 2 year old and 5 month grow made me realise how resilient babies are. Not only are they constantly learning new skills, they are also constantly practicing those new skills. As my 5 month old began to flip from tummy to back and back to tummy, he practiced this during his wakeful moments and even in his sleep - flipping across the bed in his sleep, crying for help when he got stuck.
We adults sometimes hit a wall in our lives. Calling for help, seeking counselling should be something that is normal and acceptable. Like babies, we should constantly practice those newly acquired coping mechanisms, skills etc. It is a common saying that change does not happen overnight. What we need to be aware of, consciously, is that change requires work, constant practice - like determined babies.
