[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 596763, member: 3907"] Barbara, this is expressed so beautifully. I have direct, tangible evidence of my influence in my little Tyrantina. I watch her as she tidies up the toys, straightens papers on desks, packs a bag full of "her things" to take down to "her office" at the beginning of the day (tea set instead of laptop, but still, they're her essential tools), checks her hair and shoes in the mirror before going out to the park...countless things, small and large. I realize that every last little thing I do affects her -- how she views herself, how she conducts herself. And it's my role to make sure that she learns to be a strong, healthy person by observing and copying my strength and health. I must be strong and healthy, to teach her to be. [/QUOTE]
