RE: Mindful Monday - Helping Our Children
It's easier for us to forget what it's like growing up the older we get, as we look at everything through the lens of our experiences as adults and have become completely unaware that, as a child, we thought we'd never get to 12 years old - it took so long! Then to 16 and the driver's license. Time moves so slowly when we are kids, and it seems to us that we will always be a kid.
There's so much going on when we are kids. I remember that it was difficult for me to imagine what life as an adult would be like right up until I realized that I had become an adult.
So very true @free-reign. Our vision in that time of life is a very small field. Tomorrow is forever a way and yesterday was so long ago. I think that's part of the reason they feel so helpless and lost when these feelings come in. They can't comprehend that in a year, 5 years and such it will no longer matter.
