#46. Parenting Quote of the Week

You set your child’s emotional compass. Your child relies upon you to navigate through these rough waters. When dads or moms are nervous and anxious, their kids know it – immediately. Remember the warning you get on an airplane about oxygen masks: “If you are traveling with a young child, put the mask on yourself, then assist your child.” Similarly, you are your child’s anchor – take care of yourself first.
– from Fear Less: Real Truth About Risk, Safety, and Security in a Time of Terrorism by Gavin de Becker.
Thanks for highlighting that post of Steve’s. My husband makes EVERY mistake he lists on that article.
Found you from Slackermommy. Am planning to write a post on a charity too at some point. LOVE your blog!
Thank you for letting me know that Steve is not perfect. I feel better about my own choice of husband now.
