I have enjoyed your website and blog. Your common-sense, creative, and ever-adjusting insights to parenting is good to hear. I will borrow a few ideas for counseling my families, including my adoption families. Thanks for following me on twitter. I have enjoyed your website and blog.

My 7 and 10 year old are both so stubborn! I had my husband read this blog and his take was that we could start by doing some things we all enjoy. It seems so simple, but I like what you said. We asked the kids what they wanted to do and they both wanted to go rollerblading. We agreed but rather than at the skate park, we're going to rollerblade around the real park this Saturday. We are all 4 really really looking forward to it. I think you may be onto something. Thanks, as always for your ideas!

I'm excited either way and either way I'm sure I'll be back. Thanks for talking about one not being superior to the other, I appreicated that.

Annoyingly so! Then I realized getting dirty with them was A LOT more fun. I am not the parent I thought I would be and I am very happy for that. I have a lot of trust in my daughter and believe I've given her the tools to make the right choice. My son is still pretty young, but we intend to do much the same. Thank you for not saying your perfect, nor are your children. *ICLW* I use to be the over protective mom. Annoyingly so! Then I realized getting dirty with them was A LOT more fun.
