I don't know your story, and I'm not on the same path, but I do know that no matter WHO our children are, we-- at least I -- question decisions, both big and little. One lesson learned is another one sacrificed. What does each child need at what moment, and what lesson is worth teaching for the price of my sanity?<br />I can relate on different levels.<br />Reading another post, I understand the frantic lunatic feeling as well.<br />I would love to be a storybook person, but the realty is, some days are more of a page out of a college psychology text than a fairy tale.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05290534151500649637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166179636821676994.post-21379178301110096112011-03-09T18:29:29.602-06:002011-03-09T18:29:29.602-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05290534151500649637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2166179636821676994.post-10327175135002083692011-03-07T19:21:33.454-06:002011-03-07T19:21:33.454-06:00I just read this (forgot you moved back ot this bl...I just read this (forgot you moved back ot this blog), but it made me think of C. He was "ok" at team sports, and individual ones, however, there were certainly points he wanted to quit and we made him see it through. After he was done, we didn't make him repeat the sport, but he has ultimately found his own way, one which we didn't steer him toward, but just happened. He isn't on a team, and it's kinda, but not really a sport. He hunts, he fishes, and he does archery/shooting practice. He loves it and he does it when he wants to do it because he loves it. I have really learned it's not about the "traditional activities" all the time. Colton's also into bowling, which is also a fun hobby too, so it's not "sport-like". The question I suppose, is Does Ana have to be "in" anything right now? Or, can you create her own world of activities with you guys and maybe a friend or two on her time & interest level? Maybe she'll become a hunter or bowler, or who knows. Not all kids are "activity oriented". She'll be ok, she'll find her way, and she'll show you what she's interested in.<br />I always thought I had to "guide" the boys into different sports & things so they could experience them, and while that's partially true, she could grow to love camping, and want to go on nature hikes, or bike rides, or running. There's kids 5k's all over she could want to do. Relax, it'll happen.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07761206498060815273noreply@blogger.com
