Conversation starter: What 5 qualities do you value most about yourself?

6 replies

Hi

I just wanted to create some space for people to think about how fab they are taking care of their kids, and managing their different responsibilities.

So what 5 qualities do you appreciate about yourself? Either as a parent, or simply as a person, or both. 🙃

I'll get the ball rolling and say, 5 of my personal qualities are:

  1. Compassionate
  2. Open-minded
  3. Caring
  4. Friendly
  5. Determined

Hope you take a few minutes to focus on your great qualities and join the conversation. 😊🧡

I will always support my children no matter what.

Hi Bubbly. Not sure I can come up with 5! Will have a go though:

  1. Determined
  2. Loyal
  3. The fact that I keep going day after day even though I don't know how I'm doing it.
  4. Ability to look on the bright side of life (thanks Monty Python)
  5. Not me but the fact I have great friends whom I love and couldn't do without

@OhamIreally Nice list. Smile Thanks for responding. :)

What you said for no.3 - you sound like you must be juggling a lot. Your comment makes me think of this book I've read called I Don't Know How She Does It (heard of it?)...does it feel a bit like that?

Aww...lovely to hear about your friends.

What quality do you think they would add to your list? :D

@spacepyramid Lovely. :)

What do you think your kids would say are the best things about you? :)
