I was joking with a friend that I would love to write a book entitled: What they never told you about raising children. Don't get me wrong. I adore my kids. Each one unique, each one a challenge on his own. But one of the things no-one told me, is how to sit back and let your child make decisions which could have an impact on his life, without parent interferance.
I'm not talking about alchohol or smoking here - I will definitely get involved, doesn't matter what anyone says! I'm talking about decisions where he could benefit if he only persisted.
Divan has been blessed with so much sporting potential - every sport he has ever tried his hand at, he has excelled at. But he does not really seem to realise how good he really is. Do I keep telling him this - or do I back off? Maybe I'm too involved in his life...... What is too involved?
Perhaps what I'm trying to say is that I suppose there is no black and white where it comes to raising children. There is a lot of grey - and I think I'd better start liking grey, after all, it is my natural hair colour now......
