The writer was ashamed by her English (please don't be!) and didn't want to comment here, but I promised not to use her name. I think it's an important point:<br /><br />"I want to tell you story, what I heared at TV few month ago.<br />Boy was climbing on cobweb (for children) but at one moment he was scared, his mother asked him to go on, and he did it but still was crying.<br /><br />Mother and psychologist explained this situation: he learned that he can win with his fear and he can trust his mother (she protected him against fall). After all he was proud of himself.<br /><br />What do you think about it? This boy was ~7 years old."<br /><br />I have to say that I absolutely agree that sometimes we have to push kids past their fears, especially when we know they can do something. I think it's a very personal and situational choice, but as parents we know our children better than anyone else and we often know by instinct when we can push and when we can't. I have certainly done it with Tyler at times! <br /><br />My post clearly didn't cover everything and I also enjoy thinking in different ways, so I do enjoy this conversation and experiences from all of you! <br /><br />[Jen, Blog Owner]Jennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222281678712659814.post-87209095183621091422011-09-28T19:56:51.801-04:002011-09-28T19:56:51.801-04:00Alyssa, I am absolutely with you on this.

I've found it reasurring myself. I really appreciate your input on this subject for my own reflection as well as my readers.

But sometimes when I'm hurting (physically or emotionally) I really do like someone to hug me and tell me it's going to be okay, that they are there with me and will help me get through it. So I do think that phrase can be beneficial sometimes. Though I agree that it maybe shouldn't be the first line out of our mouths when we see someone get hurt.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14972247846119586904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222281678712659814.post-39799294103706578022011-09-28T17:02:50.938-04:002011-09-28T17:02:50.938-04:00Great post!
