8. Cecilia

Cecilia is a coworker of mine and the mother of two two boys- one being two years old and the other being 5 months. A woman constantly in the know, and one who strives for self improvement, I'm always impressed with the way she handles her small legion of men.

At work the other day she told me the story of how she deals with her toddler's temper tantrums.

"It's not a cure-all," she said, "but it helps break up the crazy if only for a moment."

She went on to say that when her son gets a little crazy she tells him to take a deep breath and say, "Namaste."

I promise you, it is way funnier when she tells the story. All I can picture is her son all worked up and upon his mother's instruction stops in his tracks and with the high pitch baby voice, takes a deep breath and says, "Namaste, Mama."

Cutest thing ever? Yes. Parenting win? Absolutely.

Readers with children, take note!
