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

\\xa0

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
