Letting go of the banana boat
Friday, August 17, 2012Let me start by saying that I am hover mom! My number one priority is keeping my boys safe and out of harms way. BUT, having been raised by a hover mom myself, I realize how this limits personal growth and can foster self-doubt (for the record, I do not blame my mom for being over protective. She did the best she knew how). So this is why, when it comes to being adventurous with my kids, I feel the fear and do it anyway. The cool thing is I'm learning that every time I do this, I learn a valuable lesson about life.

Great point. I try to go with the flow as much as possible. It makes one more present in life and life becomes more enjoyable. It is also helpful when riding roller coasters, too! Not as many aches and pains the next day.
