It is an encouragement to me to see your grown kids doing well in the world etc. Frankly it is y'all with the older kids who keep me going. <br /><br />If it is any encouragement to you, my 'challenging' child is spreading his wings far more nowadays and I am praying he keeps striving to do what he needs to do this year. <br /><br />Keep plugging away Susan. :o)Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024049516588006495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30502930.post-72582433015646706672009-09-02T05:19:45.352-07:002009-09-02T05:19:45.352-07:00I always struggle with that whole thing of trying ...I always struggle with that whole thing of trying to help the kids more so that they can learn to be more independent. I want them to be more independent. They can't do it on their own. I have to help. But in helping them, it seems as if I'm teaching them to depend upon me to help them through, which seems counterproductive. And yet, what else can I do? Maybe I'd feel less confused about it if a certain girl here actually became a little more independent instead of becoming MORE dependent on me every time I try to help her garner skills toward independence. [sigh] <br /><br />I feel for ya, Karin. It's hard, and there's always so much that we need to do. Keep plugging away.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.com
