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!

Yeah! Patience is key. In my younger days I was also like that. In many ways, i think my mom must have felt like how you felt towards ven. But I think it takes time. When the time is right, they will just do it. I think my mom have tried so hard sometimes to make me move out of my comfort zone, but she also knows that it would be pointless if i am not ready for it.
Ven's still young. there is much time this mommy can exercise to train ven one step at a time to move out of her comfort zones! It took my mom close to 17-20 years to do that. haha. So yep!
