Serena Williams Sympathizes With Her Daughter During Her Tantrums

Ah, the "Terrible Twos".

Luckily, I still have a bit of time to prepare for those tantrums that come with your kid hitting just around the 2 year mark, but for Serena Williams, those days are rapidly approaching.

Luckily for Serena and her daughter, Alexis Olympia, who will turn 2 on September 1, 2019, Serena actually does her best to sympathize with her daughter when she throws a tantrum or has a fit and falls to the floor crying.

Serena said her mom recently reminded her that Olympia would be heading into the "Terrible Twos" soon and she realized she really doesn't know what that will look like, but that she has some idea because Olympia is already experiencing it.

“[Olympia] isn’t quite there yet, but she definitely falls on the floor and has fits and she doesn’t understand... They’re just kids who can’t really communicate and they don’t know how to — they’re so close and they want you to understand what they’re saying."

Serena has such a great view on motherhood, because she understands that as frustrating as it can be for us as parents, not knowing what our kid needs or what will make them feel better, they also don't know exactly how to communicate with us yet. And they're learning new things every single day.

“I feel sorry for them because I’m like, ‘I’m trying to understand what you’re saying’ and they literally learn our whole language — they learn everything from scratch — and we don’t learn their language, they learn ours,” she continues. “It’s a pretty amazing thing to me. I’m learning a lot.”

I need to remember to take this outlook into the next year with my kids, because right now we have such a great schedule down with them that I almost always know why they are crying or what they want based on the time of day. But when there are two of them entering the "terrible twos" and they're just trying to communicate with us or each other, things are going to get verrrry interesting.

Good luck, Serena! You got this next year DOWN!
