Comment on A Hard Ride Home – Conversations with my seven year old daughter by Karen

Karen — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 01:36:23 +0000

Wow, Wendy, interesting story and great article! It reminds me how impatient our whole society is with the so-called “weak link” (such a critical perspective.) What I remember learning as a child was to hurry up and get myself moving at the pace of people who were older and bigger than me, even when it was clearly impossible. Too bad we didn’t have your wise advice back then!

It also reminds me that it’s important to have this level of patience and awareness with people who are older or unwell and may need extra time to think, move, and react.

Some comments that came in today…

What a sweet start to my email time. I so enjoyed your discussion of your interaction with Evelyn. I liked how you discussed what your mind and body were doing and the specific language you used to connect to yourself and your Sweet Ones. I’m wishing you a warm and connecting Holiday.

Wendy, Thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed this morning. I have been struggling with my 3 year old. It’s clear that what I’m doing isn’t working.

Hi Wendy, Reading your newsletter “on the go” – too much the norm these days. But I nonetheless appreciate the gentleness underlying everything – a gift, even if it is caught on the run.
Take care, S

I am so grateful when people send me feedback…whether positive or negative. It invites me to engage with the life in me and others. It also gives meaning and encourages me to do the work I do. Here are a few comments that arrived by email…

Wendy, thanks for this. I too could have been the mother you were talking to. Everything you said made sense for me and helps me. The desire for a quick and easy fix is so strong as is the worry that “permissive” parenting will somehow ruin my kids. And I’m having a hard time taking care of myself right now, which makes everything doubly hard. Thank you again, Z

Loved this format Wendy. So nice to hear the back and forth and the growth as both of you figured out what was up, empathy and strategies at their finest!!! About a third of the way down I though I could be having this conversation with Wendy (maybe I have). C

Hi Wendy, I love, love, love this! So much specific info and support about something that we all have to deal with (with kids and adults). Hugs to you! A
