[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel very fortunate that through all the ups and downs of childhood [b]I always thought my kids were awesome - no matter what - and didn’t try to change them like many other parents in their peer groups. [/b] And now that they are confident and impressive young adults I see how very important the self esteem built by “being enough” really is. [/quote] I never understood this. I don't think my kids are "awesome no matter what." I think they're awesome if they're trying their best, and busting their @sses off in school and sports (I don't mean being top performers, just trying very hard!). But anything less than 100% effort is not enough for us. Our family doesn't want to raise slackers. [/quote]
