Patience, humility, and enjoying life's moment aren't always life lessons learned from other parents or from inspirational quotes. Instead, they're often learned from a source closer to the heart -- your toddlers, who are just learning how to speak, to assert independence, and to develop individual personalities. We asked you (our readers!) to share the life lessons you have unexpectedly learned from toddlers, and we gathered stories of eight important ones such as having perspective, giving other parents some leeway, and seeing the beauty in everyone.
