It’s a way to help push ourselves physically and mentally. It’s scary being up on there sometimes!
For sure. I have trouble "letting go" at the top.
I’m hoping that I make up for my shortcomings by showing him so many things and trying to help give him confidence in that way, where we have a problem and I will show him how we fix it, and make him fix it the second time if we have it again.
I think that this is good parenting. It isn't the expectation that he can fix it by himself, but that he is supported to learn the process of fixing. Over time, having that process gives him the confidence to actually try first, and then ask later. There is good and bad in that too though! :D
It’s for sure every good parents dream that their kid is better than they were.
I think it should be the least of parenting. We are an evolutionary species and we can guide our own evolution too - we should always be looking to improve, even slightly.
