I loved this show and it got me to thinking about how I normally react to me teen daughter’s persistence when she wants something. She just hammers away and my knee jerk has always been to make her wrong for it but why??? You reminded me that this is a great quality. Why am I squashing it?
So I came up with the idea to do a “Celebrate My Kid” week for each of them where I take every opportunity to point out the qualities that make them great as many times as I can remeber to do it.
Sure I will still say no and tell her that she needs to give it a rest before asking again but I want her to know that persistence is a great quality and will take her far in life. It may need to be rechanneled but never extinguished.
So thank you and Jade for reminding me that parenting is a job that is literally built into the fabric of each and every thing we do, say, and even think.
Love you guys!
