We always believe with our child's power to learn and to explore on her own. Sometimes we thought that because we are older, we know better. Pero minsan they have their own way of doing things different from ours. What we try to do is to always be mindful. Mindful of her interests, her wants and her skills. We let her be part of the decision making pero we clearly explain the consequences of each choice as her guide. Respect also comes both ways. We respect her choices, her space, her time. As much as hinihingi naman ang respeto din sa kanya. That way, hindi sha takot magexplore, hindi sha takot makipagusap sa tao, hindi takot magkamali, at higit sa lahat hindi takot sumubok ng bagong bagay na pwede nyang matutunan ;)
