And really...What a great example you provided here. And really, just communicating that you understand their desire is the beginning of hope. Think about when you are in the midst of an emotional conversation and how much you relax when your husband says makes it clear that he understands what you need.Jennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12254905274447187028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037448079954692550.post-35945831663731173312008-03-25T15:04:00.000-07:002008-03-25T15:04:00.000-07:00Amen!! We struggle with this so much! I've noticed...Amen!! We struggle with this so much! I've noticed that sometimes just beginning my sentence with repeating their desire, "Did you want to take your blanket with you into the bath tub?" grabs their attention, and helps them know I understand what they want - we're on the same page. I like how you've taken it a step further with giving hope and consistenly fulfilling the request (at a later, more reasonable time/fashion) building their trust in you. Once again - thank you dear Jenne!Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13136357927834621203noreply@blogger.com
