There are a billion reasons why you can't make this a priority.
But the real question is WHEN? When will you make it a priority?
I know the fall is a busy time with sports, school, etc., but the reality is we can make the time for the things that are important.
Yes, my girls are going to miss their soccer games to attend this retreat… And ya know what? It’s not a big deal. We homeschool, so we don’t have to worry about school attendance anymore, but missing a couple of days really isn’t the end of the world. :)
It will be a busy fall, but this is before the holidays start…. AND some fall colors might start peeping while we are there, too!
I guarantee this is an experience that your daughter will NEVER forget.
Life is so busy, and there are always so many reasons NOT to just do the thing.
But the thing is, this isn’t just joining another business program.
This is about nurturing the heart of your precious daughters and doing something that is just ridiculously fun.
As a mama to 2 daughters and a son, I know we speak into all of our children’s lives… But our girls look up to us in a way that our sons do not.
They want to be like us…
They want us to affirm them…
They want to be with us…
In time, they will likely model the very behaviors we model for them now.
And if we don’t show them that they too are a priority to us, and we truly see them, love them, and have set aside this time to be with them… When will we?
Just as we want them to grow up to prioritize their own health and well-being, we must prioritize it for them… And having a bonded mother-daughter relationship is a huge part of that well-being.
Whether they are your oldest, pushed aside (in their mind) by younger siblings…
Whether they are the middle child and no longer the baby…
Whether they are the baby and not able to participate like their older siblings…
Your daughter needs to know that she matters to you and is still seen by you, even standing next to her sibling(s).
