How are others dealing with having kids who are gifted in one (or several) areas, but late-blooming in others? Maybe it has to do with simple things - common sense communication or prioritizing, remembering keys or wallets. Any suggestions for improving on the areas that still need work - other than repetition, patience, or hoping that consequences will teach the hard lessons with "enough" impact, and not too much damage? Most interested to hear about tweens & teens. Strategies that might…See More
BigLittleWolf commented on RAMBO's blog post RAMBO Alert: Raise healthy, resilient teens with this indispensable guide"Going through my own version of letting go... it isn't a one-time thing, it's two steps forward one step back, and it's different with each teenager.
Letting go with love? Certainly. With confidence? I'm interested to read this…"
BigLittleWolf replied to Rhonda Cratty's discussion What conversations are you having with your college bound students?"That makes me feel a bit better (*grin*). My kid can do laundry, use a vacuum, and he can cook. I suppose one of the things we should prepare them for is the fact that no matter how confident they are on the outside (hello, Bravado?) - every…"

BigLittleWolf replied to Megan Calhoun's discussion What are your tips on letting go of your kids when they become more independent?"This is so hard, and I think some of us take our cues from the individual kids - our lives at their varying stages, and naturally - their lives and developmental capabilities at various stages. I believe we need to allow them the chance to make…"
