The other day my daughter finally had a day off work. We decided to go out in the    16  for the time, together! It was an enjoyable experience. Then a surprising thing happened. She turned and asked, “Hey, Dad, can I    17  the boat?” I had a look of fear in my eyes    18  the boat can be driven at a very high speed and can be turned over very quickly. However, I gave the driving seat to her and began    19  her how to properly control the boat. I told her to remain calm as I had completely believed in her.
It can be both frightening and exciting when your child tries doing something, even if it’s a small thing, you still feel like they are growing up too fast and it’s out of your    20  . Time goes by so quickly, so it’s    21  to spend time with your kids, with your family. It is an amazing feeling to experience as their confidence grows.
In every situation if you relax, take your time, and show confidence, you will have a great      22  . We not only had a    23  morning on the boat, but also invited our little neighbour who is 8 years old and put him in the    24  right between us. As I drove at top speed, making sudden turns and jumping over the waves, all I could hear was my neighbour      25  and screaming at the top of his voice because he was having such a great time.
