Age Gap creates Opposite Kids!
Allison started school (sophomore) this morning (half day today). Sullen, moody, snapping at us, slammed the door as she got out of the car to go into the school this morning. (Don’t worry, I know this is all a mask to cover her fear of the unknown, fear of rejection - We’ll survive (including her))
Shelby doesn’t start school (1st grade) until tomorrow. Last night, he was walking around with his packed backpack on. Then, he put it by the door & told me that he wanted to keep it there, so that it was ready to go in the morning. I reminded him that he wasn’t starting school for two mornings, yet. He said, “That’s OK, then it will be ready for that morning”.
(Chant for today: Please meet a kid who you connect with & will want to spend time with & will look forward to seeing every day)
