RE: Finding an Educational Paradigm that Works for your Family
It helps so much to have community, even online. I can't even express how grateful I am for all y'all other mamas. Self doubt plagues me too, though I also have bouts with wild ego as well. Community is helpful there too.
"Wild Ego" Yep. I still have that and seem to have passed it on to my children a little too well! :) They are all crazy confident. You are awesome. I look forward to seeing more posts.
Aww, thanks! We were just talking about the ego thing today. I was talking to my older daughter about things I am grateful for, including my amazing kids, and she said, "Yes, we are really quite awesome and humble too." The oldest seems to have lost a little since venturing out into the world - ugly breakup, existential dread, poverty, etc., but I think he'll get it back.
The best part of being a strong person with a solid foundation and support system is the ability to get back up. My son went through the first relationship breakup thing last year, but he's definitely finding himself again and I can tell in our discussions that he learned a lot about himself through the experience.
Totally true. My son also learned a lot, and he's finding his way back. It's been over a year, but they were together for maybe 2 or 3 years. I don't ever want to move back to the US, but I do wish I could be closer to him.
