I really like what Dr. Debra said yesterday aobut defining what your best is; helping you teens understand what their best is. I think these is another aspect to this as we look at the role models we are. We need to be very good at how we speak to ourselves in this arena. I remember watching my mother, an amature artist, being critical of her work. I then heard My daughter, a budding artist, saying those same things about her work.
As parents we need to find the balance between humality and personal pride. Our children need to overhear us take pride in the things we do well. But we also don't want them to feel we are an act to difficult to follow. That's where the balance piece comes in. Sherri
