A while back I was in the home of some people whose parenting skills I admire. That's because they're much like mine were when I was at my best.
We were sitting in the living room talking. The two year old knocked over a wooden chair.
She said "Oh, Oh!"
Her father, looked up, smiled, and said "Well, pick it up, sweetie. You can do it."
She pondered a while. She struggled. It wasn't easy because she was wearing her brother's cowboy boots.
But she got the chair back up. All by herself.
I am woman, hear me roar.
