    I am about to have a proud, maternal moment. Feel free to look away. I am very proud of my daughter. She awe-inspires me. Although she is 13, I can learn from her.

        She seems to be nothing like me. Physically, she is her dad. Fair & very lean. Academically, she is all STEM whilst I am all humanities. In nature, she is easy-going & socially compliant whilst I have always been intense & argumentative.

        I am not disappointed in any of this. These are good characteristics tho they are not mine. Maybe better than mine. What I would have been disappointed in but tried so hard not to be would have been if she'd had trouble with critical thinking and reason. She does not.

        She has a remarkable ability to take reasoning apart, examine it and find its flaws, and an impressive knack of clarity in encapsulating the problem and why it is a problem. Her social observation is keen and her analysis insightful. She makes me think & reassess regularly.

        It is clearly innate and she has no idea how rare it is. She is bewildered at the unreasonableness of her peers. It's so clear to her and she can explain why and she is right.

        Without wanting to blow my own trumpet, I think she gets this strength of verbal reasoning & analytical observation from me but her gentler, more easy-going, more confident nature makes it less angst-ridden, less combative & less doubtful than mine at her age.

        My job is clearly to make her aware that she has a skill and an emotional & intellectual maturity beyond her years and encourage her to explore and express it. I am sure she will be a remarkable & powerful woman and I am excited to watch her develop.

        My proud maternal moment is now over. As you were. I was just overcome by admiration of her casual analysis of what people mean by 'love' & the different kinds of love that there are and why it matters whilst sorting her bag out for school tomorrow. I must now go & think deeply.

        Let her know, in the same exacting detail you have shared with us. I know of too many a parent who never could, or never did.
