Congratulations @Renee Jeffery well done!
Parenting Community Successes
Thanks @Paul Sirvinskas for letting me know that the new DISCOVERY rankings are helping with our key words. So, from our community we have three communities that have popped up in the top 10. Congrats to: @Tim Tindle and his group Parenting Support Skool @Andrew Nelson and this community Parenting and Teaching children and @Rozalind Murray with her community Parenting through the storm. Who else has risen to the top of the rankings for one of their communty's key words? @Chris Suckling ? @Tina Saxena ? @Jon Cooke ? @Steven Bornstein @Paul Sirvinskas @Audrius Stankus @Renee Jeffery ?????

It's very good to see the whole team getting results and improving. I see @Oliver Wing and @Steven Bornstein both at the top page with 'cooking', it's a great direction for us. I'm at the top with 'kommunity', but not 'community' πŸ˜‚ will have to play a bit more with the keywords.
Lightness
What brings you lightness and freedom, apart from "retail therapy", a glass (bottle) of wine?

Why you had to exclude a bottle of wine πŸ˜‚ A few things do this, but I think 'letting go' does it the best.

@Andrew Nelson That is not something I have learned yet πŸ˜‚ But I like letting go of ideas that aren't working, or even people.
Are we blind? - a little bit of Wisdom...
From a weekly email by James Clear: Computer scientist Alan Kay reminds us that our perceptions are limited: "A frog's brain is set up to recognize food as moving objects that are oblong in shape. So if we take a frog's normal food -- flies -- paralyze them with a little chloroform and put them in front of the frog, it will not notice them or try to eat them. It will starve in front of its food! But if we throw little rectangular pieces of cardboard at the frog it will eat them until it is stuffed! The frog only sees a little of the world we see, but it still thinks it perceives the whole world. Now, of course, we are not like frogs! Or are we?" Source: "The Center of Why?" (November 11, 2004). Later in the talk, Kay says, "You can't learn to see until you realize you are blind."

Most definitely. Just don’t know what it is we’re not seeing πŸ˜„
This is what I am hearing from you guys
Consistency Over Intensity Success in long-term goals is more often the result of small, daily actions than it is of sudden bursts of extraordinary effort. Helping your kids or students value the "boring" middle part of a project is essential for developing a disciplined character. How do you help your children or students stay committed to a goal once the initial excitement has worn off?

This is my understanding and the approach I'm planning to use with my children one day. The problem with young people is that they have character, but don't have experience yet. If they have to make a decision, they base it on their character and personal priorities, but without experience they only see half the picture, so decisions can't be correct. My parents and the other parents I see, say that the child needs to go out into the world and figure it out on themselves. Which I think is a bad approach of course. I think that a parent has to provide children with their knowledge. That way, a child can make a decision based on a full picture - their own priorities, as well as experience. Now, using this logic, I believe the main roadblock for children is they don't see the full picture. If we tell them to do something, they don't see it. Don't understand why. So, we help illuminate the path ahead of them, or let them choose one of multiple paths, once we make them visible. It can be done with anything - choosing hobbies, choosing school sports, choosing career, etc. When children are able to see the full picture of what they're doing, with the end goal, the daily journey becomes different. Once the parents finish diligently working on this important part, then comes the teaching of discipline development. But teaching discipline without doing this, is like posting in community without having the main framework.

@Andrew Nelson This is very interesting, because when I was child I was very categorical. It seems no one could tell me anything, I just did what I thought is best. But I think there was 1 or 2 ways how people could tell me something so I listen. So I'm leaning towards a thought that it depends on HOW you say things. You'd do it differently for every child, personally to their character. Do you share this thinking? Or is it different from your experience?
