That's pretty m...I appreciated the affirmation. That's pretty much how I parented my four, now grown, offspring. For example we were all tree climbers. When my kids friends would come over they wanted to follow up into the canopy. Some would ask me to help them up. I told them the same two rules I taught my kids when it came to tree climbing, "I don't put anyone up in a tree and I don't take anyone down from a tree." Kids do figure out how to get up quickly but I often had to encourage and instruct the getting down. However true to my word I never held or carried out one of them. They needed to discover they could do it on their own. THANKS! Good advice to those still in the midst of raising kids.<br /> Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14306715956368011769noreply@blogger.com
