And I'm glad. Not glad for RAD, but glad I've finally learned to let a LOT (most) things go. I've also found there's great power in applogizing to my kids when I do screw up - which is about a million times daily. They're learing to do the same, which as you know, is a huge deal for RAD kids.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444891084585965661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-39463248275115882092011-01-21T20:41:00.230-05:002011-01-21T20:41:00.230-05:00Oh my goodness!

And she's ALWAYS pointing out that I messed something up, or (my favorite) when she THINKS I used the wrong word or pronounced it wrong and points out "my" mistake when she's the one who didn't hear me correctly. So now I'm supposed to make mistakes on purpose for the express purpose of her pointing them out? She'll probably tell me I made the mistake wrong :) :) :)matryoshkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159644735944561441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-15457504356408487782011-01-21T14:54:52.142-05:002011-01-21T14:54:52.142-05:00Even my (mostly) NT kids like to point out my mist...Even my (mostly) NT kids like to point out my mistakes.

Mara does some of that correcting and I think it's part of her hypervigilance. With two of us parenting, Lee and I have been able to show her that things can be done different ways and still work fine. But we're trying to help her learn to trust that she can learn to do things even if she can't do them the first time....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-60513766793089151422011-01-21T13:41:26.774-05:002011-01-21T13:41:26.774-05:00Well, you know I love you Lisa, and so I am willin...Well, you know I love you Lisa, and so I am willing to loan you some of my mistakes. How many do you need?<br /><br />Maybe you could start a little slower than "..... love to make mistakes it makes me human". Like, maybe say "oops" the first few times. <br /><br />I am a little confused though. I have the same issue with Genea, hearing her constant "Mama, you forgot my ______", etc. I guess I thought the same as you, that she should feel like I have it covered. She can relax because I, as the parent and adult, have it down.The Accidental Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409271721074309249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7916782536472572714.post-78466246686852353602011-01-21T11:50:02.156-05:002011-01-21T11:50:02.156-05:00Wow - sounds like an interesting idea, albeit a ha...Wow - sounds like an interesting idea, albeit a hard one to do. Sometimes I can be so proud, even in front of kids, that this would be difficult for me too.

I would probably have to admit defeat (that one time, of course) and ask for plan B. LOL<br /><br />Good luck.
