It's hard to humble ourselves and let our children see when we are wrong but I believe it is important. I also try to show examples of grace and mercy when dealing with my son so he can have a picture of these concepts. Thanks for sharing your heart! Have a blessed weekend!Southern Fried Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772821883734481802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-49272693577126204852010-03-13T17:31:10.854-05:002010-03-13T17:31:10.854-05:00Love this post and think you are spot on.

If children grow up putting their parents and other people they see on impossibly high pedestals, that creates conflict within themselves when they can never measure up to what they perceive to be reality in other people. They need to know that they can fail and still be good people....that there is dignity in HOW we fail.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765673372975518220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-66817262187365370072010-03-11T13:37:42.602-05:002010-03-11T13:37:42.602-05:00I love this post - your whole blog actually.
I...I love this post - your whole blog actually.<br /><br />I'm not a mother myself, but am an aunt. I sometimes feel that the way my siblings and I were raised and the way we now see things is "old fashioned" but it's good to see that there are others out there still with the same values!<br /><br />This blog proves that being a stay at home mother is not or does not have to be boring, sedentary, or whatever else people come up with. I really do like reading about how you research things to do with your children, how to raise them, you do projects with them (cooking!), you do "school" for them. And in their pictures we can see just how cute and happy they are.<br /><br />Sorry for getting a little long here, but I have really admired your posts lately and couldn't go another day without telling you.<br /><br />MJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-44842379331145935412010-03-11T10:06:45.291-05:002010-03-11T10:06:45.291-05:00Great post! and I am headed in your way in a littl...Great post! and I am headed in your way in a little while.

I think as long as you create a home where your child knows they will always be loved, and that failure is a part of life, as are the shining moments, you're on the right track.Corinne Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604810312185816792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-44885756339606784932010-03-10T20:47:12.679-05:002010-03-10T20:47:12.679-05:00God works in such awesome ways!

I have really been thinking about this, and Justin and I have been discussing how to react to mistakes and failures.<br />I think we need to both read this book, and I am going to look for it online after I post this.<br />The quote hit the proverbial nail on the head.<br />When I fail I beat myself up. I hold it with me and I remind myself of it constantly. That is soemthing that I have been able to control lately, but that is because I was able to recognize that I did that because it is what I saw my parents do with their failures.<br />It dawned on me that if I want to raise Zaphyn to not get so down on herself with each little mistake or mess-up, we need to lead by example.<br />The other two points that you have made never came to mind in direct relation to this matter.<br />I'll be sure to post on my experience with the book.Stephaniehttp://mrs.primrodo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18841589.post-78167566238460017192010-03-10T20:40:15.075-05:002010-03-10T20:40:15.075-05:00This was really really good, thanks for sharing :)...This was really really good, thanks for sharing :)Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05481630280531182933noreply@blogger.com
