It is a good accomplishment and it is great for you to acknowledge it and let her know you are proud of her.<BR/><BR/>One thing I have noticed as a non-Jew who spends a lot of time with Jewish people - they praise their kids to the high heavens. Parents have high expectations, but the kids' every achievement is met with excitement and honor.<BR/><BR/>Then I look around and see, for the tiny population of Jews on earth, how disproportionately represented they are in the highest echelons of almost every endeavor - the arts, music, medicine, science, philanthropy, business...it goes on and on. I am not imagining this, am I? <BR/><BR/>I can't help but think that the two things are related.SUEB0Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301963922769609715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21614600.post-1149767594502459212006-06-08T04:53:00.000-07:002006-06-08T04:53:00.000-07:00Congratulations to your precious little girl!

How powerful for her, too, to be recognized as you put it, "by her world" without "Mom". It means something completely different, to be sure. I have celebrated my (also third grade) daughter's poetry and photography forever--but, it wasn't until she won awards at school that she really felt it. What a beautiful thing! I am so glad you "found" me via mama says om--I will be back to read your words and view your (incredible!) images again. Thanks so much...Left-handed Trees...https://www.blogger.com/profile/06057727021295729384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21614600.post-1149682605626363852006-06-07T05:16:00.000-07:002006-06-07T05:16:00.000-07:00You honor each other.

Therefore, when awards aren't won, they still have self-confidence in their effort and don't feel they let anyone down but themselves... Still, my oldest is the competitive one. It has a lot to do with birth order. Probably more than anything I do or say.<BR/>I think anything that is earned that will serve your daughter well in life - such as this award -- is worthy of a lot of praise.<BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21614600.post-1149606402969466762006-06-06T08:06:00.000-07:002006-06-06T08:06:00.000-07:00I cried.I cried.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
