To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there. ~Barbara Bush
As we begin school, we begin sports.
I was inspired by this article posted on the Huffinton Post by Rachel Macy.
I loved her message!
The essence is this….our children want us to attend their sporting events, but don’t want to hear our good or bad comments. They simply want us to be there. That takes the pressure off them AND off us!
We don’t have to think up motivational comments. What they love to hear is about how we FEEL about the event, simply and truthfully stated as “I love to watch you play.”
And isn’t that exactly what you are feeling?
What I love is how this message can translate to so many every day and extraordinary events in our children’s lives. We are so happy to be part of these events and we really do LOVE to watch them play, and read, and cook, and laugh. The list goes on and on.
Have a great ‘pressure free’ week.
