Being the mother of a 4 year old and almost 1 year old and working full time can be crazy sometimes. Everyone warns you of the terrible 2's or the terrible 3's. Those days weren't as bad for us. I think it's finally hit for us as the terrible 4's. Being a 4 year old is tough. Trying to become more independent and establishing her role in the family as the oldest and now a big sister and I think there's a little jealousy setting in. All this has been hard on my daughter. She is a very strong willed and an independent little girl which is great. I admire that about her so much and am very proud of her. But lately the defiance and talking back and tantrums has really frazzled me.
I've talked with a few of my girlfriends for advice, I even went to the library to read up on dealing with her current behavior. Then I thought...... let's try some oils and Peace & Calming came to mind! We're going to give this a try and see if it helps to tame her tantrums and defiance. She also grinds her teeth at night so we can kill 2 birds with 1 stone!
Peace & Calming is a blend of Orange, Ylang Ylang, Patchouli, Tangerine and Blue Tansy essential oils. It has such a unique smell that sets it apart and when diffused, it will bring peace to whatever room it was diffused in.
Whether it's applied directly to the body or diffused into the air, Peace & Calming Essential Oil is expressly designed to calm tension of all kinds. It brings peace and harmony to all those who enjoy it.
