Today the kids took tennis lessons in Carmel with their friends. I’m hoping at least one of them finds and shares my passion for playing tennis and will play with me.

They all seemed to find some pleasure in their lessons, which is a good thing. I try not to push too hard and to find a balance between their fears and desires. I love when I push them just outside their comfort zone and they come back happy and not wanting to stop. Those are some of my favorite mom moments. I never want to be the overly demanding parent that they eventually don’t like anymore, but I also don’t want to allow them to say no for the sake of laziness and fear of not knowing how to do something. Today was good.

Did you face any challenges today?
