Letting Kids Fail

Has your child experienced the rewards of failure? Employers are saying that the one thing that is

Fear and Parenting
May 8, 2012
We all deal with fears, and somehow, as parents, they may feel magnified. We may limit our children’s
activities because of our own fears. We may discipline out of fear. We may then fear that our fears are
instilling fear in our children. Learn to recognize your fears and then discipline from a place of love and
calm.

What are Parents Saying about Gourmet Lunch 'n Learn
"It's all I've talked about for the last few days. Elle's is such a beautiful venue and the food is very different
and fresh. It's great to know that there are moms who want to parent well and are willing to take action in
doing so. I feel soooo empowered when I attend these sessions. My AHA moment came when I realized
that there are a few things I'm doing for my children that they could do for themselves. So, Maggie, while
your daughter is getting a bigger allowance, my kids are learning to do their laundry. LOL. I think all our
children benefit from our brainstorming and ideas. Thank you for creating a safe place for moms to voice
their concerns." ... M.B., Parkland, FL
