Yes!! I totally agree. Take out that perfection mess that holds ya back and just go with it. THAT is something that I could personally apply to nearly every area in my life~! =-)

it’s so so important to have your kids involved in the day to day…it’s good for parents too…we have to let go of the need to have everything perfect! well, that was for me, anyway!

I love your approach. they can learn through so many fun things and not even know they are learning.

YES!! This is way better than just telling kids “You’re so smart, kiddo! You can do anything!” but then never giving them every opportunity to let them show it (and to keep teaching them more!).

I love how much you get your kids involved with everyday life! Both of my kids (5 and 2.5 years old) love to help around the house, too… when you show you have confidence in them, it makes them more confident in themselves (wow-Mom thinks I can help cook!? that’s such a grown-up thing to do, I must be pretty awesome!!).
It takes more than just telling your kids they can do anything, you need to show them

Good luck with Math! Seth likes it right now when it’s easy to make adding and subtracting fun, I can’t imagine what it will be like when he gets into all the hard stuff!
