As my 2.5 year old grandson declared he had to go potty, he hit my dog with a flag, so I put the flag out of his reach on a shelf. He was angry and decided to push the ottoman over to get the flag. I felt a fear in my lower abdomen, and my intuition told me I was in fear of his unhappy reaction and also fear that with all this going on he was not going to make it to the potty. I set the intention to approach this situation with love, to do what was in his best interest, and not be attached to the outcome. As I listened to my intuition, I was directed to talk quietly and lovingly to him. I did this and he went into the hallway and peeked around the corner to make eye contact with me in a friendly way. My intuition told me to sit tight, be quiet and wait. It took about 5 minutes, but then he walked down the hall to the potty, sat down and went to the bathroom, and declared “I did it!” We had a very loving and connecting time after that. When I took him home, he mentioned the flag and I lovingly reminded him why it was on the shelf and there was no reaction about it.
