“Mom, can we go on a walk for some alone time,” Effie asked me last week. Little did I know she had an agenda. She wanted to talk to me about maybe having a crush on a boy in her class. I am amazed at how early we are confronted by these “big” conversations from our kids.
So we walked and we talked for over 30 minutes. My mind was blown for the second time that evening because she asked REALLY insightful questions like:
-How do you know if it’s the right person to have a crush on?
-How do you learn if he is really nice for real or not?
-If he isn’t nice, and you say, “you don’t have to be a bad guy (also a quote from a lego movie ).” Does this help him learn to be nice?
-What if he isn’t nice, but there’s a part of you that still likes him?
What I love about these questions is that they are focused on something I feel is incredibly important and that is teaching people how to have discernment in their relationships. And I know adults who don’t even know the answers to these questions.
As parents and people it is important to be “good people” and teach good character, BUT it is critical that we learn ourselves as well as teach our kids how to have discernment in our relationships.
I realize we live in a time of increased sensitivity to judgement but you can have good judgement without being judgmental and this is such an important skill to teach your kids (and take a few notes for yourself if you need to).
Here are two ways to BEGIN to instill the skills of discernment:
1. Promote curiosity. Help your kids learn how to ask good questions and play detective when getting to know others. Know that one observation about someone isn’t usually enough to cast judgment but it’s worth keeping in mind and getting to know more
2. Observe patterns. Teach your child to notice little deals because they can add up to major patterns. Help your child start to put the pieces together. Consider things like how does this friend treat others? How do you USUALLY feel around this person? When you talk to your kids and help them pay attention to patterns, the character of a friend or partner tends to reveal itself.

She definitely got it from her mama!! Whatever mommy does she wants to do too!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that when she gets older she’ll still want to slip on some high heels and do laundry with her mama!
Did you know 68% of traditional liquid laundry detergent bottles are not recycled and contribute to the approximately 606 billion pounds of plastic that end up in our oceans annually? I’ve switched to Dropps because they eliminate single-use plastic with recyclable & compostable cardboard packaging that doubles as the shipping container. Loving this eco-friendly detergent!! Thank you @dropps for gifting me this detergent.

For those who have sons, do you spend a good enough time talking to them about what a quality woman consists of, so they know what to look for?
