Read: "The goal of interventions is to help our children to extend their abilities, one small step at a time, by working right at the edge of what they can do now and helping them move on to the next step. This requires an ongoing evaluation process as maturation occurs, as learning and experience move our children forward, and as expectations change." -- Joyce Cooper-Kahn and Laurie Dietzel, from Late, Lost, and Unprepared, this week's featured book.
Reflect: How frequently do I review my child's interventions? How often do I hesitate to give an intervention because it seems like coddling? How can I help my child appropriately, and keep adjusting expectations?
