Thanks Robin, this is parenting manual in a nutshell:
"Be on
your kid's side, always. Help her negotiate tricky situations. Be her
advocate to help her get what she wants, in appropriate ways. Talk
with her afterward and brainstorm ways to do better the next time."

I am grateful for this today as I wrestle with how to do exactly this (and also wrestle with my people pleaser baggage).

yes i am going to keep this at the forefront of my mind ALWAYS, "be on your kid's side". she is my daughter and i may not always get it right but i am trying my very best to do the best i can for her. i am a total people pleaser and realise that about myself (glad to hear i am not the only one) but i have taken this way of life and must try harder to overcome my feelings in a situation and realise they are MY feelings.
the sash has been lost a couple of weeks and i need to get her a new one but money is tight and we need to wait a bit until we hear about my husband's job. it was more important on the night in question because of the smart brownie badge.

If you're sure it's in the house, finding it might be better, if it
had any badges on it.
Trust, confidence... those are important. (It's important to trust
in yourself, and haveconfidence in yourself, too.)
