My goal as parent seems to shift frequently...
Sometimes I can see my job so clearly and then priorities switch as events change, kids get older, I get older... But the short video that you can see below, if you click on the link, talks about a universal goal and hope that every parent has for their child. We want our kids to get up again after being knocked down because knocked down is sure to happen. We must foster resilience because this is a tough world and we won't always be there to soften the fall.
This is one video that you can watch with your teen or young adult or email it to them...
Are You Going To Finish Strong?
I know I will be keeping this image fresh in my mind during my next challenge...
I wonder what is going through Willie's mind in this photo with his nemesis, Bosco? Willie, my dog, is the 5 pounder on the left. He knows about finishing strong because he has no idea he is small... BIG DOG... SMALL BODY! I wish that for all our kids!
It is all about attitude- whether you have 4 legs or no legs...
Sending my best,
Anne
