I worked for most of what I wanted from the time I was 14. I do feel it has made me stronger. I did have the means to provide my sons with "things" and had to grapple with how much was too much many times. At 22 and 23, they are primarily self-sufficient (for the time being). Luckily, they landed good jobs. It is gratifying for a parent to see this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872444343533261864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-5139799908641246522012-07-09T06:18:13.566-04:002012-07-09T06:18:13.566-04:00Thanks Micki!

If things come too easily, a sense of entitlement can follow rather than a sense of responsibility. I treasure most those things I had to work hard for.

I struggle with this with my students and have had to stop myself from bailing my sons out on several occasions. Their self-reliance is my reward now that they are adults. In fact they get irritated with me when I offer too much.

As a parent, it's sometimes hard to achieve a balance -- being sure your child feels secure and knows that you'll be there for her, while allowing her to make mistakes. As you so beautifully stated, it's an awareness of what's ultimately best for the child. But in the end, we all just do the best we can, don't we?<br /><br />I'll tweat and pin the link to this post so others can enjoy it too.Sandra Nachlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16906884446237370105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-38094724928546908652012-07-08T16:50:31.429-04:002012-07-08T16:50:31.429-04:00What a beautiful way with words and food for thoug...What a beautiful way with words and food for thought about giving too much.
