Posting for the daily prompt challenge and I realized, I have no strategy.
I mean don’t get me wrong…I want to ensure my kids are healthy; that they’re being raised to be kind people, help others, and that they do well in school. That they think about their future and how they can contribute to society.
But I don’t have a strategy.
I read a lot; I talk mommyhood with fellow parents. I try to gather as much information as I can, in order to make the decision that is best for my family. But as far as what sports they will play? That’s up to them (I rotate my kids in activities so they can pick the one that is the best fit for them. Plus, they’re nearly 2 and nearly 5 1/2, so still early). What sorts of careers I will nudge them towards? That’s up to them. I’ll make sure to discuss pros and cons with them when the time comes. How to deal with today’s meltdown? Again, I read tips and see what works. How to make them eat their veggies? I’ve learned to negotiate. 🙂
I guess it’s not as much not having a strategy; as I write this, seems my approach is to gather the info and then do what works best for my kids. Is that a strategy? Maybe it is!
wish you more
