(I can't speak to any other culture.) Reading through your list reminds a person why parenting can be so exhausting . . . and your list didn't even include INTERESTED and ENGAGED listening -- which is sometimes the most trying bit. (Sometimes I just want to be alone with my thoughts - particularly during the school run.) My oldest is nearly 15; no wonder I'm starting to feel really, really tired.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-18478672735000099262009-02-26T04:48:00.000+01:002009-02-26T04:48:00.000+01:00Oh, I love this post.

You are very blessed to have a wonderful teacher for your child. I am in awe of the chance to go to a play and see the Queen. Oh my. <BR/><BR/><I>resourcestærke forældre</I> I love this phrase. I wish I could ask for more of it. In fact, I wish I could just copy your post onto my weekly newsletter. Oh, Momma J, I can tell you that you are doing a fabulous job as a <I>resourcestærke forældre</I>. It's the parents who are concerned about it who are doing it.

The parents that are involved usually have students that are, which is why I am sure the school has this policy. <BR/><BR/>There are many students whose parents barely recognize the fact that their child attends school - that is until they don't know something - something usually that the parent should be teaching ....<BR/><BR/>The fact that you care if you are doing a good enough job shows that you are.Just Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09842126422147340390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-48699302247663114922009-02-25T14:04:00.000+01:002009-02-25T14:04:00.000+01:00I loved, loved this post!
