Week One: Do Nothing, Say Nothing - addendum

I think, with my reluctance to engage in nagging behaviors, I am SO ready for this methodology! I was remembering how I also let Fiora get uncomfortable (tell her something is hot, but if she wants to try it she can...tell her it's cold outside, but if she doesnt want a coat we'll go outside) - I feel like she learns so WELL this way, and again, it prevents me from having to nag her about stuf she's never experienced. She KNOWS what we're talking about now, and she makes choices from her own experience.

But I admit, I sometimes felt like a callous mother when around other mothers, and it's a real relief to have some support for working this way.

Note: I'm starting to realize that while I may be stellar about nagging, I DO have tendency to whine rather than being really clear about what I want or need from others...ACK!
