Most of Chinese students in Senior High 2 had read your article and I think they all considered your article as a treasure, as I do now.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing! I wish all families were a safe place to land in…

Me and my daughter often talk about just this, to be open and honest and know that, no matter what, you are loved.

Rob, Mark, Dixon, Renae and Andrea, thanks for your comments. This was the story of some near and dear to my heart and when they told me about it, I had to get it in writing, so I interviewed them for the details. The story was a gift to me as a parent. Glad you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Hey,

Lovely post and philosopy. In our family our ‘safe place’ is created by affirming to each other that regardless of what mistakes we all make, we are always worthy of love and respect. We reinforce this with one another daily.

Cheers,

Dixon.

Neat that she allowed for the absence of shame. A well I dug the illustration with the yard stick tied in with the spikes. Enjoyed it, thanks.

Great story. I can only hope my 2.5 yr old is as responsible and thoughtful one day.
