More Random Thoughts
Last night I had a crying child. She was upset because there is a sticker chart
at dancing and her sister got a sticker and Moo hasn't gotten one yet. She
tries so hard to do the right thing but somehow doesn't get noticed. She is the
same at school. I realised just how much like me she is. How can I teach her
that she doesn't need a sticker to feel special when I have felt exactly the
same way with the 12wbt? Can I say to her that her time will come ... what if
it doesn't? How can I prove to her that she is exceptional even though nobody
notices?

Hey Michelle, you are exceptional and so is Miss Moo - the key is validating this from the inside rather than from external sources (I'm no expert, but when I start building myself up from the inside, the effects are longer lasting).

I wish I had an answer but I dont. I face a similar issue with Mitchell who constantly asks me why the boys who play sport are so popular (whereas he's a music and chess nerd LOL).
Oh Michelle, my heart aches for her (and you watching her) but I have no answers. Sorry.
Thanks Ladies. You know it's funny Liz but my answer to her was that she didn't need stickers that the love of being on stage is the reward for her hard work. Validating from within is so much more worth it.
I always admire people who are musical.
