[QUOTE="ksm, post: 691165, member: 12511"] I would let them fail more often, and face failure at a younger age...instead of being overprotective. I would push them to try sports more while they were young, because by the time they were in junior high, they couldn't catch up to friends who had been on teams. (Not that they could have been high school athletes, but because of the lessons learned, about practice, about being part of a team). I would try to verbalize my spiritual beliefs more, in words and actions. I would try to form an extended family for them...as we don't have many relatives nearby. I would have made me, and my marriage a bigger priority than them... I would drop the small battles, and become a warrior for the bigger battles. Somehow, I wish I could have made them feel more important...to value themselves more, not to settle for mediocre friendships and goals. KSM [/QUOTE]
