Guest guest Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I teach child development and one of the things we talk about is the " resilient " child. A child who, despite problems (as the adults would perceive it) in his/her environment, manages to come out unscathed and happy. This conversation has brought something to my mind, which is how often does the resilient child actually affect the parents? How often does our resilient child actually make us better parents, help us to be better, more loving, more giving parents? Now, that might be an interesting graduate study for someone. Pam Daughters My youngest is 40 now, and insists hers too was a very good and special childhood. As much as I protest at what a lousy mom I was...she remembers all the cuddling...and especially the sound of my voice when I read to her. She also remembers going to bed...and hearing me play the piano....the only time I had to practice...when the kids were all tucked away. She said it gave her such good memories. I'm missing her bad right now...haven't seen her in a year. She was an ultra happy child...and I think even the worst mother would be seen through her little rose colored glasses! Regards~ Jacque .. My Mom gave me an amazing > gift...the ability to love myself for ME, not for how I look or for > how others might perceive me. Thanks Mom. > > , That is exactly what I hope my daughters will say about me. You have a wonderful outlook on life! Good Job Fay!
