Current Sitch….

Is there ever enough time to spend with your little one??? How has 8 years gone by so quickly. Yeah, yeah, they grow up, I know. But, seriously, that ole saying "they grow up too fast" ....you ain't never lied! Currently, we have had some road bumps, that apparently I'm told come with age, but hell I didn't experience it so.... Self-esteem has never really been an issue for me, so this is uncharted water. I've never "needed" praise, or looked for it, I just believed in myself. No, it wasn't church, or mentors, teachers, or what not. I'm sure my parents told me time and time again I could do anything or they were proud of me, but it really was just my personality....fearless, confident and determined. So how to impart this to her without belittling her current feelings. Tis a weary road we travel. So many moms suggest therapy, sigh. I'm not knocking it, too each his own, I hold no judgement, but it's not something I hold a lot of confidence in. She talks and tells me how she feels, we are the best of friends at times. She is stubborn and headstrong, can't say she didn't get that part from me. So with that, the struggle to convince her that failure is not infinite, it is just a learning experience and trying brings success, eventually. I know it's a long road, share suggestions, ideas, personal success. I'd love to hear I'm not alone on the island!
