Challenging but very rewarding!! I think it's also important that our kids learn that they can develop a talent that maybe doesn't come naturally and that weak things can also be made strong, if they want it badly enough. great food for thought! thanks Kj!carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518787822161413711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292014743730281975.post-10053502166439228652012-02-22T11:30:40.592-07:002012-02-22T11:30:40.592-07:00i love that quote! it's really so true. One ...i love that quote! it's really so true. One kid may not be as 'good' at something, as their friend is. that doesn't mean they're not smart or talented, just in different areas. i completely got what you were saying, too. you do a great job of explaining it. ; ) i want my children to find what they enjoy and what they're good at, so they can work on improving that one thing and feeling the confidence that comes from being good at something.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09449129505158179549noreply@blogger.com
