I'm not sure if it was an impulse so much as early childhood care extended
beyond it's useful life; I was happy to do it and my son was more than happy to let me!! To my great surprise I developed a huge nurturing instinct upon the birth of my son. I didn't even feel that strongly when I was pregnant, which worried me, I thought I was going to be a terrible mother; it happened when I first saw him. I wouldn't say that I've spoon fed him, exactly. There are things I just didn't realise he was capable of. In some cases, he is not all that pleased that I realise it now! And in some cases, he tries to push that realisation to its limits, like getting in my BIL's Suzuki 4WD at the farm and planning to go for a little drive. I intervened in that little expedition before he turned the key!!! -- Marisa (AU) ESBC This is interesting. I wonder why you had that impulse. I agree that letting kids take responsibilities they are ready for can have big benefits, for them and for the rest of the family.

At 10 years old, I can see he is ready for it. I was much more inclined to do everything for him. |

grinning I'm sure he was...
.... and I understand wanting to be of service to those who are dear to us. I am one who came rather late to the realization that I might be interfering with their natural development by being -too- serviceable. These days I am much more inclined to back off and give people space to grow. And also to avoid taking the initiative too often, so they learn that they can't always wait for someone else to plan things out for them, and that there are advantages to doing things for oneself, in exactly one's own way.
