RE: Getting Children to Listen? Let Them Choose to Pay Attention

[beeyou]

I saw helicopter parent and just had to comment back to you, Lynn! Guilty here! 😂 I actually never knew of the term until others told me about it, boy, did I feel like a hovering mommy. My little girl is learning to walk right now and it's so hard to let go of her hands. Trying to learn to let them grow and find their own identity since I definitely don't want to be one of those clinging moms. They just grow up so fast, sigh*.

I don't mean to intrude here. I was checking out another steemmonsters fiction writer's blog and she has this post resteemed. Being a parent, it caught my eye!

No intrusion whatsoever @beeyou! Here's my thought for what it's worth: You've got to let them fall, or they never learn to pick themselves back up ❤️ Literally and figuratively. Let her fall, let her fail, she'll be a better, stronger, more independent women for it. Just like her mom!😅

I know @lynncoyle1 . Just this morning, grandpa let my little one play with a trick or treat basket. She puts it over her head and I try not to cringe when I see it hitting her face. She must love it though because she kept doing it! 😂 Thanks for the sweet words.
