I was kind of 'forced' to stay home with my second daughter recently. This intensive one week with Princess Venecia was actually quite fun and has indeed taught me to be more patient with her ability to overcome fear. One incident that striked me significantly was at IMM playgound. I was bored after spending 20 minutes watching her. She refused to try the higher slide despite of my coaxing. I wanted to leave after seeing all the younder children seem to be more adventurous. Suddenly she just ventured into the higher grounds just like that! I would have missed this if I insisted leaving and denied her the opportunity to overcome her fear. Later after that incident, we went to Daiso for lesiure shopping. As usual, I encouraged her to pay for her item and surprsingly, she did it with obvious brimming pride!
WOW!!! I'm so proud of her, yes it may seems so insignificant in many mummies eyes, BUT this mummy is so PROUD OF HER ACHIEVEMENT!!! This period of bonding defintely pays off, I see a more confident and cheerful PRINCESS ready to venture out of her comfort zone!
