Perhaps my post was not clear.  I apologize for that!

To clear the air, please know that I was not attributing  anything to you, other than a question about how to measure results.  And I was offering my point of view on that issue.

As for the structure of my post, I like advice that include specifics, not just generalities or theories.  Specific examples are very helpful to me, and I assume to others.

So the framework I chose  to communicate my thoughts was a version of "Do this. Don't do that."  Again, I was trying to make it specific and concrete.

Looking back, I can see how you thought I was criticizing you directly. I absolutely wasn't! As you said, there was nothing in your previous post that said any of those things.

But yes, I did use the  word "you" instead of something more universal like "we," "one," or even "a parent" in laying out my "do this / Don't do that" ideas.

So of course, I apologize for offending you. I did not mean to do that.

I was merely. offering my opinion on how to sharpen our kids' abilities to measure their own effort, rather than look to or rely on their parents to monitor it on their behalf. You may disagree, which is of course just fine. To each her own.

Again, I am sorry I offended you. Peace. [/quote]

Wow, a DCUM apology! Thank you for that. In turn I'll apologize for flying off the handle, especially in my 2nd and 3rd posts. And, well, for posting three times.  :oops:  I re-read your post and I agree it could be read in a much nicer way. [/quote]
