at this point, resilience really is my #1 priority for DD5 - if we help her with that, she'll be able to do the rest.
there's no heat without friction, as my dad used to say...
but yep - that script i use with DD really turns the responsibility back on her - which is where it belongs. we also have a solution jar, which i've mentioned before - i write out the solutions (vs. complaints/excuses) DD comes up with and stick them in a big glass jar. she can see them building up over the course of the year, and we read them all out on New Year's Eve. it's fun, and she can really see her progress in this area.
