Kindergarten is tough… on a parent!
Our 5 year-old came home from school the other day with “hurt feelings”. One of the other kiddos told our son that his hair looked funny. As a parent, the “mama bear” in me started to come out: then I got to thinking… this is life. As a part of life, we deal with “hurt feelings” on a regular basis… someone didn’t like our idea during a meeting; someone chose our competitor over us; someone said something to us that we didn’t “like” and we took it personal. What I’ve found myself repeating lately to our 5 year old is “we can’t control what other people do or say, the only thing we can control is how we react ”. It’s been a great reminder for me, as an adult; we may not like what we heard, and we may not be able to change what was said, the only thing we have control over is our reaction.
On another note… Have you seen our darling place mats that help the little ones in your life get a jump start on their table manners and make dining more fun?
