Watching at the sidelines

Some things we really can't do for others. We can only bring them to the place to drink from but its up to them to drink. That I think is our role as parents.

It leaves me feeling helpless at times as I watch, guide and set up situations for Therese to learn from. It just seems that it would be easier if I were to do it but paradoxically it will be best for her in the long run. I just need to remind myself to be on the lookout for those teachable moments and not deprive her of them no matter how it might be inconvenient for me at the time.

Holy Spirit guide me.
