Bravo! You definitely do not want to go backwards...keeping look ahead and continue moving foward! You did a very nice job of explaining to her about the ping ponging. In her own little way, her projection about you ping ponging sent the ball right into the shoot. I'm glad you finally were able to sit her down and explain where you are at right this moment.
I'm proud of you! You handled the situation in a careful, but gracious way. Now, it's time for her to figure out what she wants and start moving on it. Actions always speak louder than words. She's got a ways to go, but she now knows where you are coming from.
Enjoy your time w/your children.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
