Whew! This week has been a rough one for me. In addition to starting school back up, starting an hour earlier than last year..and having to go to and from school 3 times a day, I feel like I never get anything done! Emotionally, it has been a tough one too. I’m blaming the pregnancy hormones, but as a parent I have learned a lot this week.
Which ties in perfectly with my free download today. I now have two little kids in school. They are completely opposite. One is a pleaser, one could care less what you think. (and that includes the teacher..you can imagine how easy this transition has been! ha.) BUT, one thing I have learned this week is to NEVER compare your children. Both can have excellent days at school for different reasons, and that is okay. One may have a great day, and the other has a horrible day..and THAT is okay. The one thing my husband and I do require is this:
SO while one child has figured that out and knows what that is, we are slowly teaching the other what that means in a new setting. Change is hard for everyone, right?! And even when my little boy has rotten days, I can say that when I pick him up, I can give him a hug and tell him I love him because I realize that being 5 is sometimes hard and trying new things is often difficult..and mostly because I know with time, doing our best comes and the sense of accomplishment that it is, is what drives us on to the bigger and better things.
