I guess that's par for the course.I think that to a large extent, it's my fault that we don't talk as we should. I was never a talker as you know and even though I wanted that kind of open relationship with her I had no idea where to start so... Now we're thirteen and I find that I now have to get to it.GretaMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556357767441755955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094643253650394481.post-47313571511145803852010-03-17T16:34:03.165-04:002010-03-17T16:34:03.165-04:00Prayer and patience. That's what I do. I'm...Prayer and patience. That's what I do. I'm in the process of eliminating"what's wrong?" from my conversation with my 13 yo. I think the ques. frustrates her. Get connected with her world. Meet her where she is. Don't force it...let it come naturally. We're in the same place Greta. One thing I've learned is that there is great power when a mother falls on her knees and prays for her children.<br />Chk the links in the blog, they'll provide some insight also.<br />Let's keep in touch.Nicole Commissionghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15346678136613668757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094643253650394481.post-89478749256743463872010-03-16T21:59:35.099-04:002010-03-16T21:59:35.099-04:00Nicole, this is so timely. Right now I think I am ...Nicole, this is so timely. Right now I think I am in need of a mom time out. My daughter and I are having trouble communicating. I am trying to be understanding but it can be so hard when your child has decided to be uncommunicative and you are so used to not being yourself that you don't know how to start without causing conflict. Since you are the more senior mum here; three to my one, any advice would be welcome.GretaMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07556357767441755955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6094643253650394481.post-35362119241930570062010-03-15T13:45:53.570-04:002010-03-15T13:45:53.570-04:00Thanks Sharlene....I'm so not a 'Super mom...Thanks Sharlene....I'm so not a 'Super mommy' neither do I strive to be one. But I love these kids that God entrusted me with.

You are right, sometimes it takes an adult time out to really see what is going on around us. To realize too, that no one is to blame, but oh sooo sweet when you can look up to the heavens and know that God got your back and gave you the wisdom to jump off the train to nowhere to get things back on track...All will be well! You are super mommy and you can do this!!!!sharlene Mentorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08722206143898707786noreply@blogger.com
