Grr health visitors. I was going to say to your bit "I feel like I've failed because I should have made more effort to explain things" that it's not your job, it's a nice to do if you have the spoons - but hey, you said it immediately afterwards! But it is only doable if you have the spoons and sometimes not even then, or rather it would take an awful lot of spoons.
I think our parenting of Aphra is quite similar in terms of listening to her requests and judging them mostly fairly reasonable for her age. Empathy and all that. And hey! They are both not particularly tantrumy-meltdown toddlers! Coincidence? I think not! (Er yes, anecdata etc.)
