Definitely seen it over time that kids have become so fragile. Any challenge creates absolute paralyzing fear. Let them fail so they can learn what that feels like and move on. 💗
Couldn't agree more. Challenges are a part of life and we all need to learn that we can weather what comes our way. Life is much more enjoyable when we look back and see what we have overcome and how much we have grown.
I really like this. As someone who likes data, knowing the crime rate is about 1/3rd or more lower today is comforting. We should be promoting independence and the development of self confidence.
One of the most important lessons I have learned is to do what I say I will do. I agree how you pointed out that our word is our bond. Thank you though for pointing out that our bond is not just with those we work with in the world but also with ourselves. Yes to independent resilient kids!
It was wonderful as always. And how useful. Your children are very lucky to have a mother like you who teaches them how to believe in themselves and how to build their confidence. Not only them, but I am very lucky to have a friend like you who gave me confidence in my life. We all love you so much khoshkelam.
Wow, this is really good. A subject I have not seen addressed before and is well needed. However, I still worry about the ‘what if?’ Don’t know if I can ever get away from that.
“We can do hard things. Including showing up and doing what we committed to do, even when we don’t feel like it.” -- exactly what I needed to hear today!
Thank you for yet another beautiful peace and for sharing so much wisdom!
Not a parent myself yet, but definitely taking notes. I couldn’t agree more I’ve seen how the shift in my parents’ parenting style between me and my sister has led to two different experiences. I was put on a bus at 5 years old after dance recitals and basketball practices, and told to ask the bus driver to stop when I see the tall telecom tower by our apartment complex.. whilst my sister had never ridden a bus or got to a place on her own until after graduating from High School, leading to my parents having to teach her how to use the bus in Switzerland at 18 (following the bus for two weeks to make sure she was able to manage).
She got her independence at 18 whilst I got mine at 5, which enabled me to travel abroad by myself starting at 13 and explore more of the world!

This is well said. It’s probably harder for you to give them the room. They are smart kids. They got this!!!
Thanks for the vote of confidence in them. xoxo
