How do you encourage your children to forge their own path?
The “how” has been plaguing me for a while as I come to realize that soon (next week!) The Bee will be fifteen. I feel like I am running out of time to prepare her through this stage in her life. Before I know it, she’ll be headed off to college and I’ll be weeping to a Dixie Chick song.
Last week I had the opportunity to observe her with a few friends and was quite impressed with how she handled herself. She was poised, she was confident, she is on her way. Need some encouraging? Check out these new releases from Netflix.
