In this episode, Claire is away at Hillman College and Rudy decides to send her a letter. She is frustrated when Vanessa continually criticizes her writing style and insists upon teaching her the “proper” way to write a letter.
Like Vanessa, it is sometimes difficult for me to work with my kids and let them learn how to do things their own way. I am so often tempted to teach them how to do it the “proper” way. In their school, they have to do periodic home projects that require research and visuals and SOME family involvement. It is often difficult for me to step back and let them take charge. I have been known to run off to the craft store while they are in school and bring home materials for my great idea. I have to be careful to hide my disappointment when it does not match their plan. So far, they have always completed their projects on time and received positive feedback. It may not be according to my plan, but then again I guess I am not the student.
