Answer the “why’s”

Me: don’t cross the yellow line

She: Why?

Me: Just say OK

She: Why?

Me: JUST SAY OK!!!

She: OK, why I can’t cross the yellow line?

Me (to my self): she didn’t care about saying ok…

For my young daughters “just because”, “just do it” and “because I say so” are no longer valid.

They want an explanation in order to understand the instructions.

Many times I will not explain, but for the most part I want t o build a communication channel with them.

Specially now that they are growing

Specially now in these days

Someone said this: Between him and me there’s more of a friendship relationship than a father-son relationship…

That’s what I want for my daughters.


Thanks to Rob Wegner for the remider...
