The way you write is something. The way you have raised your children is a demonstration of how people consciously approach this. Thank you very much for that. I will read your other articles with interest.❤

I am sincerely glad that such wonderful people like you are on this site. I can read your articles and just be with you on the same site. Your approach to parenting is worthy of respect, just the phrase "empathy, curiosity, listening, communicating, finding a solution" alone gives me great respect for you.

It saddens me that such great articles and stories are not very popular. But know that you have definitely helped those who read at least this article to create a safe and soulful environment for raising children in the future or in the present.

I will definitely take the time in the future to read all of your articles. I'm sure I'll learn a lot of useful things from your stories. Thank you again, and have a good day!

Thank you. I believe there are lots of similarities in raising adopted kids, foster kids, and step kids, and prioritizing building of the relationship may be the most important. Step-parents and foster parents also have an equally tough job of creating relationship, without the early years of snuggles.

Another great edition, Catherine. And a stark reminder of the importance of relationship as a priority.

Thank you Karena. You can only have one priority, and when you choose the relationship, ironically, you're much more likely to get all the other things that could have been your priority.
