Resistance Has Meaning
Ask yourself: when was the last time you resisted someone’s invitation or expectation?
- What did that feel like?
- Why did you resist?
- What did you wish the other person understood that they didn’t?
Resistance has meaning.
It’s not a character flaw or defect to overcome. It’s meaningful information to understand and take into account as you devise next steps.
It takes patience and understanding to discover new ways to bring an education to your children that they value.
Declarations that your children are obstinate or would never stop playing if you let them are unfair to them. We all want to keep doing what gives us pleasure but we also want to grow! Kids are the same.
Get curious about your child. Over time, the lights will come on for both of you. Trust the process of knowing your child better. It does work…but requires faith and patience and an abundance of goodwill.
Rooting for you!
