At times, I find myself frustrated when my kiddo can't keep the pace I want . . . errands, cleaning, visits with friends, getting work done etc.
But this morning, it occurred to me that kids really know how to listen to themselves & their limits. They know when they need to eat. They know when they are sad. They know when they are frustrated. They know when they're done sharing. And I know when she's just DONE period (aka: must get some sleep RIGHT NOW).
Amen. I couldn't agree more. I'm still trying to reclaim my sense of self which Anjali and Mark simply have.
ReplyDeleteYes, I knew about myself that I didn't want to eat vegetables. And who was sympathetic to my self-knowledge? Nada one.
ReplyDeleteMark's like me. I'm not as strict as Amy about the veggies. I like to think I've learned something about my experience.
