My 3 climbed on everything when they were small. I have plenty of bubble wrap to spare if you need any.... !! :-)<br />It's a pleasure to link up and be apart of this great blog hop and a wonderful bonus to get to know you in the process. <br />GillyGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-69535322325138816672013-08-21T02:08:29.081-04:002013-08-21T02:08:29.081-04:00I seriously love your ability to guide us through ...I seriously love your ability to guide us through your blog posts like a story and then to use normal every day things in to demonstrate an analogy to help us see something and gain something more profound out of our most questioned and painful moments in life. You are a genius! I, too, wish I could bubble wrap my loved ones. Now that I have this 16 month old boy, I seriously wish I could bubble wrap him especially since he climbs on everything and has absolutely no fear whatsoever. :) Thanks for linking up again with us on the Mommy Monday Hop!

My goal is that they are excited and ready to leave,but love to back and visit often. Thanks very much for visiting brainstorm and leaving a comment.<br />GillyGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-68218781494448803672013-02-15T14:57:38.285-05:002013-02-15T14:57:38.285-05:00Thanks for the humorous reminder that it's bet...Thanks for the humorous reminder that it's better to let our 'bubble wrapping' endeavors consist of helping our children develop coping skills and learning how to do things on their own! After all, if we want them to leave the nest, we have to teach them how to fly (unless we want them living with us when they're 30!).Anitahttp://www.blessedbutstressed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-51728421567944751452012-10-17T12:29:40.294-04:002012-10-17T12:29:40.294-04:00Thanks Liz!Thanks Liz!Gilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-69562392072106227352012-10-17T10:53:39.399-04:002012-10-17T10:53:39.399-04:00Gilly, I love this post.

A lot of research shows that raising resilient kids is the best gift parents can give their children, but kids need to be taught and role modeled the tools and supported through experiences, rather than protected from them in order to learn how to be resilient. There's a great book that explores these issues, written by a Jewish psychologist, Wendy Mogel called The Blessing Of a Skinned Knee. I think you'd find it very interesting. You can find it on Amazon at<br />http://www.amazon.com/Blessing-Skinned-Knee-Teachings-Self-Reliant/dp/1416593063/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1350338266&sr=1-1&keywords=the+blessing+of+a+skinned+knee<br /><br />Let me know what you think!<br />GillyGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-33808345631388845002012-10-15T17:23:30.594-04:002012-10-15T17:23:30.594-04:00That can be a really hard balance especially when ...That can be a really hard balance especially when their has been trauma. I know I am a bit of a helicopter parent with my kids, but I was raised with little supervision, and was lucky to have survived. I make that same joke btw. Last two time my boys needed stitches I was training the same group of managers. I kid that next time they come in town I'm bubble wrapping the boys :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-35202745448720231792012-10-15T17:15:52.186-04:002012-10-15T17:15:52.186-04:00Well, the outfit can always double up.....and then...Well, the outfit can always double up.....and then I know he won't get hurt either!<br />GillyGilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-21270769901270756122012-10-15T15:44:47.799-04:002012-10-15T15:44:47.799-04:00And I thought Jacob was modelling a new halloween/...And I thought Jacob was modelling a new halloween/purim outfit!<br />xSuks:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06331985103934770190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-42396919130012929192012-10-15T13:28:25.617-04:002012-10-15T13:28:25.617-04:00Thank you!Thank you!Gilly Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393339396656670745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363712305146749297.post-29668646407942232122012-10-15T12:25:47.777-04:002012-10-15T12:25:47.777-04:00Love this, Gilly!Love this, Gilly!arozorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220958113678882554noreply@blogger.com
