My kids love to help me bake in the kitchen. The other day, my daughter put in too many eggs in the batch of brownies. I advised her to keep them in the batter an mix them. The brownies will just be more like cake. There are times when you forget ingredients. There are times when it can be adjusted.. Other times you can just let it be.
When you know there is something more for you than what you have, the method for finding out what will work, may be easy to find. You have to measure what the outcome may be of each decision. Like any good scientific experiment, it is crucial to have a way of testing and measuring your results..
When it comes to raising children,, if you mess up big time, the outcome will be that you won’t have a great relationship with them when they are adults. Kids test their parents. Parents cannot test their kids as easily. What you allow will continue to increase.
There are not any surveys for your kids to test the market. However, there are ways to measure their happiness and well being. My kids volunteer information with me. I don’t have to force them to tell me the truth. They know that the lines of communication are open. They trust me because I do what I say that I am going to do. If they are comfortable enough in coming to me on little things I know they are happy.
