Five Methods to Lead Children, Without Crushing Them

My Darling 6yo Daughter has been doing swimming lessons for the past three years. Her Little Brother didn’t take formal lessons, but I was allowed to get in the water with him and we would splash around. It’s been a good experience. Last year they were both in classes and excelling amongst their peers. They were having fun, we were proud of them and obviously we are amazing parents, tight?
Oh how do the proud fall so far from those lofty dreams? At 4 and 6 years old, they can bathe, get themselves dressed, and even do some chores – they are practically ready to step into the adult world of responsibility. In fact, they are so close, I merely need to hover over them for encouragment and support.
