Working at home, I had no one in 43 life to share the news with. So I went to the Facebook. I wrote a lovely status 44 starting out with“So proud of these two!" and went on to list their 45 . Just as I was about to share the post with my 800-plus Facebook friends, I 46 . I' m not so sure how my girls would feel about the news going 47 ,even though it' s positive. For 48 children, having their faces and activities pasted across the Internet mostly happens without their permission, but it's 49 now that my two older daughters are eleven and almost fourteen.

As they travel through adolescence, I want to make sure I use 52 to stay connected to my girls, no alienate (疏远) myself from them. Posting about their victories might be seen as embarrassing rather than cause for 53 . Or, maybe publicly 54 my children ' s achievements online is just another way to let them know how proud I am of them— 55 it' s“just”third place or an honorable mention. In a culture where it seems coming in first is all that 56 , I want my daughters to realize that their 57 and commitment are important, wherever they place.
In the end, I waited until my 58 came home to ask them what they thought about me making the post. After reapproving the photo and the text, they both agreed it could 59 . My older one even let me tag her. “Thanks for 60 that, mom, " she said the next day. “It got 120 likes. You must be pretty proud. "
