Apparently everyone in her class kept looking at it throughout the day and other teachers came to have a look. she was riding high when I picked her up from school, very pleased with herself. She asked me when I was going to run an RPG for her lol.Jonathan Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01724165815017869687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876651437651084280.post-61658441290872003382016-04-28T21:42:52.852+01:002016-04-28T21:42:52.852+01:00Thank you very much. I know what you mean about it...Thank you very much. I know what you mean about it being difficult to hold off and let them go.<br><br>There's a push-pull effect at play with my kids and the hobby. They want to get involved, I'd like to get them involved. But I have to gauge their abilities and how far their attention span is going to stretch.<br><br>My two eldest were the same so I have that experience to draw on. They got into miniatures and roleplay eventually. My eldest has left home now for art college, so still being creative, my second eldest is now a member of my roleplaying group.<br><br>Some day the two youngest will be able to get more involved, But like JB said in the comment above, it may be just a touch early for them just yet.Jonathan Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01724165815017869687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876651437651084280.post-80511569939811056442016-04-28T21:35:13.307+01:002016-04-28T21:35:13.307+01:00It was a great experience, nothing beats good qual...It was a great experience, nothing beats good quality time with my kids to put a smile on my grumpy face too.Jonathan Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01724165815017869687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876651437651084280.post-22911492014811969562016-04-26T22:21:03.945+01:002016-04-26T22:21:03.945+01:00Looks awesome good work the both of you.

I find it quite hard when working with my kids, not to drive projects too much and just let them discover, problem solve and learn from their mistakes. You seem to have achieved the right balance here. Well deserved praise from your daughter too!Stuart Bannisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021594664352012069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876651437651084280.post-59786532870003657922016-04-26T15:48:09.304+01:002016-04-26T15:48:09.304+01:00WOnderful post, it's that kind of well spent t...WOnderful post, it's that kind of well spent time that makes life and the whole world a little better.
