Whether it’s your first year or twelfth year of sending your pride and joy to school, it’s hard not to worry and wonder, especially in the world we live in today.
Three things to focus on when you can’t control the world around you.
-
Love.
No matter what may happen in this unpredictable time, one thing your child can be certain of is your love for them. Remind them how much they are loved, whether it be through a hug, song, dance, or words. Confidently reminding them they are loved is something no one can take away from them.
2. Home.
Create a home that’s a safe and secure place they can always retreat to. Anyone can live in a house, but building a home takes intentionality.
3. Kindness.
Remind them that they were built from love and born into kindness. We can be an excellent example of being kind, by first being kind to our children.
Now I don’t know what may happen this next school year. But one thing I know for sure: love, a home, and kindness stretch further than we know.
