a burn so satisfying you can't help but experience again

Don’t get angry at yourself for feeling drained. Growth takes a lot of energy. It’s really not as simple as it looks.

“You are your own person. But yet, look around you. You are connected. You are supported. There are people that surround you who love you very much. There are those who cherish you even at your weakest. Another’s love may seem invisible, unbelievable, or non existent. But yet, it is still there, and is stronger than ever. You are supported. Always.”

Stop. Relax. The world is not on fire all of the time. The skies are not about to tumble onto you. You are safe. Supported. Breathe in, breathe out.

The other day I watched a little boy get knocked to the ground by an older kid who was running by. He burst into tears as his mother hurried over.

“Here’s a bandaid for ya,” I said, producing one from my vest pocket.

“Oh, he’s not bleeding, thank you though!”

I lowered my voice and leaned in. “Kids think bandaids are health magic,” I said. “Ask him where it hurts and exploit that placebo effect.”

She did just that, and instantly the kid stopped crying and thanked her. “I’ll have to remember that,” she said.

Also if you have a crying kid give them a cup of water. You can’t cry and drink at the same time and it gives them a chance to calm down.

Tell them their going to run out of tears so they drink the water.

My mom does this at her preschool after awhile the other children start offering the crying child little cups of water.

The mental image of 20 3yos clammering to give another crying 3yo a glass of water has me on the edge of needing a glass of water
