I am starting to check out the child development books now. I am wanting to help Arielle be open to learning. I don't know what this will look like but I do know that I will stay in a learning mode along with her. Who knows what helping her will look like in the days to come. Will I have to flash the cards in front of her? I know one thing for sure. I will be as supportive as Tiger Woods' dad, but I will not pick out what she will do as an adult. I will help her find her calling by helping her listen to her heart. What she loves to express will be her contribution. I will expose her to the musical instruments and dance. I will show her how to love what she is doing by example. I will ask her to write me stories as gifts to me and her mother but not demand it. I will follow her reactions to feel her love for what is working best for her and then help her find her commitment to her expression. I will have to show her what discipline is by example. Force will only push her away. An example will show her how and why discipline works.
