We Parent As We Were Parented-—Yikes!
Nov 08, 2020
Dear Parent,
We parent the way we were parented, even when we swore we would never do it that way. No shame here. Our parents did the best they could do, and so do you. If you are a great project manager rather than a fine preschool teacher, then take heed. Our kids need that cheerful voice tone, those soft, forgiving eyes, a willingness to watch with excitement ants crawling in line across the sidewalk, the happy to see you face saying you are the cutest little creature on the planet, and personal engagement every day around the carpet circle.
Our kids usually know what to do, but they need a heart-wise connection to feel like doing it no matter how old they are.
On hard days until they turn eighteen, because pre-school teacher parenting is exhausting. I know that feeling all too well. Your children need you much more than they know in order to become the grown-ups they think they are already.
Love matters,
Ce
