you are so right..... I am making my way thru self matters... I started before I got pregnant and was still working... Have just picked it up again to finish....
Self discovery is an amazing thing.
The one thing SELF MATTERS showed me was that so much of my ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE EVENT or PEOPLE was based on my parents or other family's past. Both of my parents grew up in a divorce household and their main parent married multiple times. They never had consistency and they were in a lot of pain. I was pretty amazed a couple of times when I figured out that my parents thought a certain way because their parent thought a certain way and they just carried it with them. Like that sorry about the Easter Ham:
Daughter is watching mom prepare the ham for the oven. Mom cuts off the ends and the daughter asks: Why did you do that? Mom says: Cause that's how grandma did it. Daughter: Why did she do it? So mom calls grandma and grandma says: Because my pan was too small for the ham.
You would be able to teach your child how to handle themselves emotionally and to work with them when life events occur. Wouldn't your child be way ahead of the game of life?
