How do you respond to compliments?
Are you receiving and open and appreciative?\\xa0
I am NOT.
\\xa0I love your hair today.
ME: \\u201coh it's a mess- i barely got time to brush it this morning\\u201d
\\xa0You look great in that dress.
ME: \\u201c well you know it's not really me it's all that spandex i am wearing.\\u201d
\\xa0Cool shoes, so stylish.
ME: \\u201c ah you should see my feet. They are way too wide and I just squeezed them into these pairs of heels.\\u201d

Sound familiar?
Ever wonder why you can't just say
THANK YOU, my hair does look fabulous.\\xa0
THANK YOU I do look amazing in this dress.
THANK YOU I love my feet in these shoes.\\xa0
Its because receiving is unfamiliar and scary to your toddler brain.\\xa0
