Daughter having unrealilty thoughts

What an interesting thread...thanks for sharing. Our kids was a BIG motivator of my getting this program...I've struggled thru having panic attacks for years, so I needed the guidance of the program but REALLY felt the need to get myself filled with new habits, so as to be a better example for our kids. Funny how some people (my hubby also being one of them) that seem to be "wired" already, to not let things bother them too much; have the ability to say "oh well"! Faith, in reading some of your recent posts...you really said a mouth full on this one, when you said, "My husband is that kind of Dad and plays more and has fun with them". I hope you can focus alot of energy on the positives, in my eyes the good Dad quality is huge! I think I have a GOOD feel for some of your thoughts/feelings of prior posts...and I'm guilty of thinking "I could do this all so much easier by myself"...what a whacked out thought that is! Like God is with us, we have to be tolerant of each others strengths as well as weaknesses...guys so often have such a different dialogue in expressing their feelings than us women do...I guess what I'm trying to say is to keep eyes & ears open for the subtle actions that truly say, "I love you and I love our family" rather than fixating on our "expectations" of how things "should be"! These were two topics that really hit me like a ton of bricks! :p
I hope you enjoy your precious present moments with your entire family this week end!
Best wishes

Very true. We're doing a lot better. I just have to learn to let some things go

People will be people and now-a-days a lot of thoughts are blown way out of praportion. If it wasn't for weird thoughts back when laws were first being introduced humanity would have never discovered the lightbulb or the electric switch. I hear bad words from children I never knew even new what those words meant. I truly believe today's noseyness is ruining the playfullness of our youth. A child can't even have an imaginary friend without someone saying our children are crazy. (do we truly need to councel/drug/get therapy for children? All they want to do is play. I don't believe you have a true problem with your child/children until you can no longer control them. Tell others to leave your son/daughter alone and stop worring about if they are crazy. I have a daughter and two sons all old enough to know who momy is. I see them and know the people who have them. I hear my daughter ask for me and listen to those people lie to her. I feel this is an area; when it comes time, my children will go to counceling with me. They will need to know they are not alone. I will need just the same amount of attention with mental stability as they will. There are serious situations that will need the attention of counceling/drugs and then there is the average child. Please take the time to know the difference. Don't put your children through anything you are not willing to stand beside them on.
