I know that our journey to becoming a family and our life as a family has been greatly enriched by each and every person in our little support group. I too love the pool parties best right now as it so wonderful to see our group of kids playing together with such ease, delight and joy. We have celebrated birthdays, christenings, bat mitzvahs, first communions, and so many more milestones together as a group and I am looking forward to the day many years from now that we will be dancing together a a group at their weddings -- but before that, we have many graduations and other happy events to celebrate.

I moved my daughter across the world, taught her the language in which she thinks, chose the community in which she lives, chose her school (and therefore her peers), chose her religion, and choose her extracurricular activities. I've had a pretty big effect on that 50%. So your evidence doesn't really point to "parenting does not matter."<br /><br />But I'm not talking about life outcomes here. I'm talking about a child's sense of self and the long-term relationship between parent and child. And sometimes just about getting through the day. It's a lot easier to parent if you accept your child for who she is.

These people say that the child's genes account for about 50% and its growing environment outside the home for about 50% of its resulting "life outcome".<br /><br />http://jaymans.wordpress.com/2011/11/16/taming-the-tiger-mom-and-tackling-the-parenting-myth/Asdfgh12345https://www.blogger.com/profile/00772407580778099819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920674539490231139.post-72427210809741413242013-08-18T06:27:28.507-07:002013-08-18T06:27:28.507-07:00Read a book called Understanding Girls with ADHD. ...Read a book called Understanding Girls with ADHD. That's what made it clear to me. There are checklists and also case studies of girls and women with ADHD. It made it so clear to me. <br /><br />Knowing it is really helping me cope with anxiety, because now I know my anxieties aren't irrational--transitions are hard for me. That's why they make me anxious. And waiting is hard because I'm trying to remember all the things and I'm worried I'll forget them so I try to hold them all in my head while I wait. Of course that stresses me out. Now that I know, my anxiety is less because I know what's causing it. And hopefully I can work on some strategies to deal with the actual problem and that will help even more.Jewmanistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868500104382636918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920674539490231139.post-16794183621623454832013-08-18T04:53:42.454-07:002013-08-18T04:53:42.454-07:00Wow, I could have written that same list about me....Wow, I could have written that same list about me.

You can sweeten with maple syrup too, but I mix mine with yogurt, so its sweet enough. I know the yogurt isn't vegan, but you could try it with the oat milk.

But he's vegan until 6PM and then makes sure he has more veggies than meat at dinner, and keeps the junk food as an occasional treat. If he wants cheese, or bacon, he can have it, he just has to wait until after 6PM and have it with veggies. It's working for him.
