[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743988, member: 23371"] Sorry I missed your comment about throwing in the towel. Maybe I need to do my riding a bike analogy... you hold the back of the bike till they learn to balance. Then you run behind them to push them back up when they start to lean. Then you let them ride alone and pick them up when they fall and put them back on. Then they fall and pick themselves up. Then they sail away and you burst with pride at how well they ride. You never throw in the towel. You stop picking them up and let them get up by themselves. If you forever pick them up they never figure out how to pick themselves up. They just keep calling every time they fall. [/QUOTE]
