Today's primary lesson was "I can be obedient." Kiddo is generally pretty obedient, but lately we've struggled as she asserts her independence, and comes up with her own opinions of how life should work. But my husband and I try to remember that she wants to be obedient, and she tries. This lesson to me was driven home by part of the lesson I taught her and her classmates.
Every time a story gave the possibility of someone choosing not to be obedient, she would plug her ears and try not to hear the story.
She not only wants to be obedient, she is bothered by stories of disobedience. So she is trying, and I need to remember that.
