Thanks for the example you set. For me I find when trying extra hard to protect someone, I’m likely to have the opposite effect. Extra radar screens lacking straps to hold them steady. Not considering the value, if any, of stirring up their minds. Not thinking through the effect on their well being.

Jules, you beautifully describe the “art” of parenting. Each time you fully show up and are lovingly present you are wearing a Superhero cape. Sometimes the “truth serum” is the right choice. Moms know best when to use it, how to use it and what dosage. Good doctors listen carefully to a Mom’s intuition. They know you know your children best❗️♥️❗️
Thank you so much for reading along Rebecca. I know some of these are a bit heavy. I do hope it gives strength and courage to others who may face this.
Thanks for writing this, Julie! I so agree with everything you said. I protected my children when they were little from so many things. Their father never cared! It was hard, but I made it!!

Thank you Gary for reading and being here. I'm learning as I go and I learned a lot during this challenge. The gift.
"Whoa, okay."
Perfect response from the kids.
Nothing catastrophic to see here.
Hi Janis! It's so cool of you to pop in here. I love this! That's right "nothing catastrophic here." Thank you for the smile. :)
My attention drawn
Children repeat what they live
Pattern shifts take work
Powerful and wise haiku Gail. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Thank you for raising children with much love and awareness! ❤️

Moms want to protect
Their children forevermore
They always know best...

Good morning Clark,
My children are great teachers. I was happy during this time I had the ability to place my focus on taking care of them and Jeff.
Thank you for reading and commenting. It's one of the highlights of my day. :)
As a teacher, I am also learning how important it is to allow children to feel their feelings. Even when the feelings are very loud!!
Oh yes! BIG and loud emotions. You are a great teacher Claudette. xoxo
Oh gosh!
'It was my job to listen and give them a safe place to land.' Absolutely perfect, Julie. ♥️

Trying counts
You bet it does! Thank you Claudette.

Good morning Faith,
That does sound hard. You did a great job Faith. Thank you for sharing and reading.
Just as your courage to be vulnerable and share your life is a highlight of my day...
Such a kind thing to say. Thank you, Clark
Particularly powerful reminder.
Good morning Nancy,
