Six - what a lovely age!
I like the Montessori-talk! Hadn't heard that before, but it sounds VERY good. I think it's great that you tell him he's terrific!
I think we'd be surprised at how much of what we say to kids stays with them. I still remember my Dad telling me that no matter what kind of trouble I might get in, he'd always be there for me! BOY, did that make an impression! Wish he were alive so I could tell him!
Thanks for the kind words...I am VERY grateful that I have such a great relationship with both my kids.
You know, when Elissa was little, I was VERY serious about not "messing her up". I think that very sensitive people can really take a burden upon themselves. We should probably just relax; enjoy our kids like heck; have fun with them, etc & not WORRY so much!
You sound like a great parent.
Hugs, Kath
