[SPEAKING SPANISH]
For us, as parents, we need to support them 100 percent.
So maybe this is the best time for me
to awaken myself and do it with her so that she would be aware
that she is doing it, not only by herself,
but she has a parent supporting her all the way.
In order to support our daughters,
we've really tried to make sure that they
get the occasional reminder.
But it's also been a matter of just giving them time
to think and do it at a pace of their own setting, as opposed
to having to be so rigid and prescriptive.
And I've found that my role is to maybe take a step back
and let our daughters lead out.
One of the things that I've realized
is that it's important for me to listen and to communicate
regularly.
Trying to remember what's important to them
and what they want to improve upon
helps me focus on what questions I'm asking them more.
And you're learning to listen to them, and you get to know them,
and how they learn, and how they grow, and what they need,
and what motivates them.
[SPEAKING PORTUGUESE]
I like how it was driven by him, and he chose his own goals.
He had ideas.
He had things he wanted to do.
And it was easier to support him when
I knew it was his goal and something he wanted to do.
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
I can go to them and say, "What's important to you?"
And they can tell me, and then we can just go from there.
And then they can just self-regulate from there.
I can just remind them and help them,
and they're doing the work.
They're doing the goals.
