Sooo I've noticed this thing I do as my son gets older and is away from me more often. My family refers to it as micro-mommying . I just don't trust people to do the things I would do especially when it comes to my son. I am trying to reel it in but am finding it so hard, take tonight for example. My brother has my son at soccer practice. He is six. It's not that serious but I want him to feel he has the positive support he needs for times he is feeling a bit down or praise for when he nails it. I know what your thinking "let it go!" right? Easier said than done. How do you ladies cope with this? Do you even do it at all? Please send help and chocolate.
@gabriellerose .my oldest was in gifted program from kindergarten because..i was always talking.teaching him he spoke full sentences.my 2 nd son. Always did good in school as well and especially sports a natural...I believe all kids need words of encouragement daily
@sherrynygirl, my mom was the same. Maybe we are kinda compensating for that? Glad to know u understand tho
@beebaby, you know what that is such a scary thing though. I was at a bday party recently and one of the kids asked me if the cake had nuts in it. Well I was like the f if I know let me find out tho and it turns out it did. What if that kid hadn't said anything to me?! I wasn't hosting the party! Things like that I feel it's okay. If my mil did that I would do nuts (No pun intended) so I feel your pain!
@sherrynygirl, this is how we roll. If you talk to them with baby talk that's what they are gonna mimic. Why not start them early and now our 6 year old speaks very well. He did struggle a bit at first but it's all good just gotta persist.
