Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks so much for sharing. I love the story about your nephew, and how he now hikes all the time and receiving awards for his work in water and wilderness rescue. You’re the one who got him started. Good job!! :)

You’re absolutely right — letting her know I have faith in her decision making is empowering for her, and I do. I also needed to hear that — that they hear and remember what we’re telling them. This parenting thing is quite a ride. ;)

I’m so glad you enjoyed the article. Thanks for your comments and insights. I really appreciate it. :)
