Yesterday morning, bright and early as I walk into work, I witnessed the most amazing and heartfelt moment I've seen in quite a while.
A mom dropping her son off to kindergarten with a quick hug and a kiss, as Im sure she's in a rush to get her own self to work. I see her crouch down beside him and in a soft voice I hear her say,
"So what kind of day are you going to have today?"
The boy replies, " A great day mom!"
"Well how do you know that?" She asks.
He responds, " Because you believe in me"
OMG how empowering.
I was in complete "Aww"
my eyes filled up with tears thinking about my own child and the children I work with everyday.
So to that mom, who I'm sure is as busy as the rest of us on our daily morning rush to wherever...took a moment of her time, while trusting the life of her child in "our" hands, encouraged great things to happened today and defeat the fear of going to school.
You are such an inspiration to me, a complete model of what I believe in and what I hope to teach and instill in our young children everyday!
We need more opportunities like this to empower our children.
Don't let them feel alone, ask questions, let them know you care.
I see so many kids daily who fall victim to circumstances and get lost in the shuffle.
Breaks my heart.
It only takes a second
They need us & lt;3
