\"\"<\/a>The other morning I was in the kitchen putting the dishes away when Caidin came in. He had his Wisdom Cards in his hand and he said, \u2018I haven\u2019t used these in a while. I pulled two cards: Speaking and Create.\u2019<\/p>\n

Inside I was so happy that he had turned to the cards without my suggestion, but at this age, I\u2019ve learned, you don\u2019t go overboard with the excitement.<\/p>\n

I said, \u2018Oh, that\u2019s interesting. What did you take from those two cards?\u2019 He said, \u2018I\u2019m not sure. Speaking, is about giving a speech?\u2019 \u2018Could be,\u2019 I said. \u2018Sometimes I take it to mean how I speak, or to pay attention to how I am speaking.\u2019 \u2018Well that would make sense,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018What about create? Do you think the two cards go together?\u2019<\/p>\n

He thought for a minute and he said, \u2018If speaking means to pay attention to how I\u2019m speaking, maybe create is connected to that too, like, if I use mean words, I\u2019ll create something I don\u2019t like.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ding, ding, ding..<\/p>\n

How wonderful to see Caidin come to that insight, for the most part, on his own.<\/p>\n

This is exactly what I\u2019ve been talking to him about for weeks: how his tone can make people (me) respond to him positively or negatively (signs of teenager-dom rising at almost nine years old.)<\/p>\n

It was a moment of seeing that everything I\u2019ve talked to him about over the years, and that my beliefs and the way I live my life, are in there somewhere.<\/p>\n

As parents, that\u2019s what we hope for, that our guidance and insight are in there, just waiting for that moment when mind and information connect and our children embrace our beliefs as their truth, not simply as something they hear us say over and over again.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll admit, it made me feel good.<\/p>\n
