Quotes from Sally

Just found my notebook where I took notes when Sally shared her journey with us. Here is a challenging quotes:

My purpose is to raise kids who are passionate about something other than what they own or to whom the are connected.


.................................................................................................................................................................

The middle-class frenzy is all about making sure our children get the best. What would be nice for our children isn't necessarily what God's best for them is.


..................................................................................................................................................................

 

The temptation is to make a plan so our children don't feel the pain (of hard life situations), but if we make a plan they will never develop a backbone. We want them to experience justice at home, but the world we live in is just not a fair place. We need to help our children to process the unfairness, rather than facilitate it so they don't have to experience any injustice. This is such a disservice, rather see these moments of injustice as opportunities for learning.


..................................................................................................................................................................

 

You take away the power of key life lessons if you continually plug away at them before your child is ready to engage with them.
