Report Violation

This morning, before taking The Pumpkin to preschool, all three of us were sitting at the table filling out her "Student of the Week" sheet for next week. Besides asking her favorite food (chicken and rice) and what she likes best about school (playing with her friends--well, she said one in particular, but we wrote down "friends"), she was asked for the name of one person she admires. To explain "admire" to a 3-year-old, I said, "Who do you look up to? Who do you want to be like?" And she said "Mama." I know that, at this age, peer and media influence is just beginng to exert their pull on her young mind, and it's only going to get more challenging, and that much more important for her mother and me to be able to talk to her about things like choices and consequences and values and such. I wholeheartedly agree with what's been said so far--that there's a difference between "role model"...
