I’ve been blown away by these two phenomenal actions I’ve observed in my 2.5 year old grandson Sebastian. Both demonstrate the ease and fun of my Joyous Parenting™ approach to guiding young people to be their best.
As you read these, remember he is learning to talk and is beginning to put sentences together.
The first story occurs in a busy, noisy restaurant at a large family gathering so there is lots of activity. I sit next to Sebastian who is busily exploring all the new treats he just received.
Everyone has ordered and gradually our orders come out.
When Sebastian’s food is placed in front of him, without a reminder of any kind, Sebastian spontaneously says, “Thank you!”
There is a murmur of approval from the family members who observed this amazing awareness and behavior in a child so young.
I turn to Orion, my son who sits on the other side of me, and he smiles and says, “People think we tell him to say that, but he does it on his own.”
Here is the second story…
I’ve been taking care of Sebastian most of the day and am bringing him home rather late after being at the gym. We’ve had a fun day.
The door is unlocked so we walk right in, with no sign of Mommy Nichola.
Sebastian loudly shouts, “I’m home!
He glances quickly to the kitchen table where his dinner awaits. Then, without a moment of hesitation, he calls, “Thank you for dinner!!”
Many women would like their husbands and older children to have this level of awareness and social grace!
What makes this work so easily and effectively? It’s knowing how to work with your child’s natural ability to learn!
