so ruthie took a fall on concrete while high stepping about outside the restaurant we were eating in. Her mother was walking with her. Everyone says, "boy, I'm sure glad it was her mom and not me watching her..."
Which brings me to my point. Our kids are going to fall down and they are probably going to break an arm at some point. There is NOTHING we can do about it. Not that we shouldn't care for our children, but falling down and hurting yourself is an essential part of learning courage and toughness. Run around after them all you like, you'd do better to teach them to recognize in your voice when something is important and to respond to stop!
