Right what? I am hoping my kids will be adventurous and want to explore the world around them and their environments, not the type who can't take a train ride into a neighboring city to spend the day without a more capable companion along because being in a strange place makes them nervous. Part of having that confidence and ability comes from knowing that one could handle and move past most everyday crises.
My older one is getting ready to get on a plane Saturday to fly to a city to which he's never been, where they speak a language he doesn't know, eating food he's never tried, to spend fourteen days playing basketball with teammates and a coach he's never met. He has absolutely no hesitation or fear about it. He is completely jazzed. That is the kind of things I hoped would happen when I taught him to cut his meat when he was six or seven.

I wanted to ask you about your "judging" comments. I am sure that you see me as judgmental because I have opinions about what I see around me. Perhaps I am.
But do you think that you are NOT judgmental? Do you think that making comments such as some behaviors you approve of must be a reflection of things learned at home, or religious faith are NOT judgmental? Do you think that saying something implying that those of us whose kids do chores must do nothing more than lie around reading magazines while the kids slave away is not judgmental?
Or do you think being judgmental somehow looks better on some people than on others?
I am genuinely curious.
thank you for the edit because i didn't catch what that was supposed to mean either.
to identify with a feeling,the word must be used on some kind of regular basis.
