Weekday Reflection: Fixing

By , About.com Guide   November 30, 2009

Follow me on:

Read: "We only have one life. We can either make the best of it or the worst of it. We can embrace the children we have been given, love them 'as is' without needing to fix them while at the same time doing everything we can to help them be the best they can be." -- Gayle Nobel, in the post "Speaking My Truth" on the blog It's All About Attitude

Reflect: Do I love my child "as is"? Do I think that's enough, or is "fixing" my child part of loving? Part of helping my child be his or her best? How do I respond to others who see this differently?

Respond in the comments with your own thoughts on this quote and how it applies to your life with your child.

Every weekday, take a moment to read, reflect, and respond to a passage from a book, blog, or article. ... More Reflections
