Really captured the myriad emotions possible in a delightful way! I no longer have young ones around and my grands live in another country, but I have shared your insights with my daughter and a few friends, all of whom have shared positive comments with me. Thank you for taking the time from what must be a very busy life to give support and guidance. I used to teach Parent Effectiveness and we would say that Parenting is the most important job on the planet at which one is expected to excel but for which there is no training or blueprint. Thanks again Hello:

You call for a higher awareness of parents with their bright children and the responsibility to help them bring out their best. Yes, nobody knows your child better than you as a parent - from day 1! So - you ARE the true CEO of your child's unique development. And it is a deeply joyful and very responsible project to customize a development plan for the unfolding of their unique genius as early in life as possible. And - to put a team of professionals together that help you execute it - school might be just a small part in this plan.

Another great question is "what is my child like to conclude out of this interaction". These beliefs as you know can be very damaging so just another way of asking the question. Thank you for the amazing contribution you are making to parents. Fabulous article Melissa. Another great question is "what is my child like to conclude out of this interaction".

When my son was growing up my special phrase that I used to say to him in difficult moments was: no one else can make you stressed. This reminded me that I was responsible for my own feelings and after a while he would say it to me. Whenever I said to him - please stop doing that, you're making me stressed, he would reply, no one else can make you stressed, and that was pretty much the end of the argument. (Sometimes I wonder if, at 16, he isn't a little too stress free!). Thanks for this reminder, Melissa. It's great to simplify an important idea so when you need it most you can easily locate it.

Often times I miss that target and remind myself that they are feeling as bad as me because of my delivery. It helps to keep me present with self talk. Very much enjoying your articles. Thank you.
