For us, as parents, we need
to support them 100 percent. So maybe this is
the best time for me to awaken myself and do it with
her so that she would be aware that she is doing it,
not only by herself, but she has a parent
supporting her all the way. In order to support
our daughters, we've really tried to
make sure that they get the occasional reminder. But it's also been a matter
of just giving them time to think and do it at a pace of
their own setting, as opposed to having to be so
rigid and prescriptive. And I've found that my role
is to maybe take a step back and let our daughters lead out. One of the things
that I've realized is that it's important for me
to listen and to communicate regularly. Trying to remember
what's important to them and what they want
to improve upon helps me focus on what
questions I'm asking them more. And you're learning to listen to
them, and you get to know them, and how they learn, and how
they grow, and what they need, and what motivates them. [SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]
I like how it was driven by
him, and he chose his own goals. He had ideas. He had things he wanted to do. And it was easier
to support him when I knew it was his goal and
something he wanted to do. [SPEAKING SPANISH]
I can go to them and say,
"What's important to you?" And they can tell me, and then
we can just go from there. And then they can just
self-regulate from there. I can just remind
them and help them, and they're doing the work. They're doing the goals.
