Fred and Todd -
thanks guys! I agree- we need to practice asking for what we want. It can make things so much easier than beating around the bush. Thanks for dropping by.

Great lessons.
Especially liked the Repeat and Ask lessons.
One of the things I keep saying to folks is be specific if you want something and don’t beat around the bush, just ASK!

Repeating good things and things we are trying to learn is a forgotten art. We perhaps get to feeling abused by learning by repetition and so forgo it as adults. What a loss. Skills are only learned through repetition as well as is integration of new thought processes.

Cheers to a great WILF post.

A tip o’ the hat for the great lessons, Deb! My personal favorite is the one on toys. (But that’s no surprise, right?)

Another good lesson from children is how resilient they are. Knock ‘em down, and they have a tendency to jump right back up again! Always a great quality to have…
