Not just us

When you read my blog, there may be moments of " gosh I would never do that with my child." However the other day when speaking to a mother about what Isabella does, this mother stated "But does Isabella enjoy it, does she want to do it." Then when returning the conversation to her daughter it transpired that " We would like her to be in the Olympics next, she is so good at Gym and has a natural talent." Do you know what, I agree, her child is very good at Gym etc. My point is that this mother did not see that she was doing the exact same things with her child yet in a different medium. So I ask everyone who sits there in a judging way to actually look at what it is they want for their children and even though it may be different, deep down there are the same underlying themes. We all want them to do well and succeed in something they enjoy doing, we are just choosing different avenues and skill sets that our child has.
