My FA driving for the win!

My 11 year old got her FIRST ever failing mark in school on a major assessment today. She told me right away and my FA stayed online the whole time. I usually would have spiraled and both of us would have had a hard go while my teenager would be thinking about how it was the end of the world. This time I was honestly just relieved she was able to tell me and I could tell that she wasn’t so anxious or fearful of my reaction just happy to feel “safe” being honest and WOW real tears right now realizing as I’m writing what a pivotal moment it is for my child to feel safe enough to bring me a failing grade. That I could model that it is NORMAL and ok to fail sometimes and there’s a lesson in it. For her “slow down”. She cried because she’s a strait A student and everything comes with ease for her and I comforted her and honestly all my littles stayed calm while doing it. The point of this post is to share my absolute pride knowing that the work I’m doing is so real and I’m seeing it unfold in front of me. My daughter knows that her worth isn’t contingent on how she performs and that nothing she does can make me love her more or less. ✨😊🥰
