Or better still give it a shake and it ALL disappears like an Etch-a-Sketch.
How awesome would that be?!
I love Etch-a-Sketches!
Do you?
There were tears here this morning.
And last night.
And then more......
They were mine.
Watching your children struggle is not pleasant.
Knowing that it is so much better for your kids in the end to NOT rescue them is one of the HARDEST things as a parent to do.
That teaching them resilience is what is best for them.
That teaching them to accept the consequences of their behaviour is what is best for them.
That teaching them to understand that their behaviour has ramifications is best for them.
But sometimes the best path is not the easiest.
In your head you know that you are doing IS the right thing.
Meanwhile your heart BREAKS.
And ACHES.
And the tears are just sitting there on the edge caught by surface tension waiting to spill.........
Today is NOT going to plan.
No wonder I hate plans.
I totally suck at them.
Onwards........
