Ok...why is it that children can be so mean spirited and nasty to each other? My poor little cutie came home from daycare today in tears because of other kids being mean to her. What irritates me the most about this is that she has the kindest, nicest, sweetest little heart and would never say mean things to other kids or tell secrets like others seem to do. I'm so thankful she is who she is and at the same time I'm so nervous for her heart. I want it to stay soft like it is and I'm afraid it's going to get broken over and over and then get hard and I just don't want to see that happen. I can admit that she's VERY sensitive so what she defines as "mean" is really just bratty and probably not directed specifically at her. However, it still bothers me that her perception is that kids don't like her. For those of you who know her I think you would agree that she's really very kind.
I don't think that parents understand how important it is to impart positive behaviors and habits to their children. I really feel that while I have the ability to impact the world in a positive way personally, I also have the responsibility to impact the world in a positive way through my daughter. And this year has been so tough on us that it's even more important for me to help her process the loss she's suffered. I don't think that most of you know that along with losing my mom, she also lost her best friend. Her best friend was this little girl named Natalie. Natalie's mom and my mom were really good friends and helped watch each others kids and also did arts and crafts together. Well, Natalie's mom didn't handle my mom's death very well and basically cut off all communication with us without any explanation. I've tried to contact her several times and she has never replied. So Sylvia didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to Natalie or to my mom.
Alright...off my soap box. :)
Love and peace to you all. :)
