Model What You Want…
A mom just accidentally put a laundry basket down on the LEGO ship that her 7-year-old spent the morning building. She brought it to him and said, “Buddy, I broke your ship; I didn’t see it and I sat the basket on it. I’m sorry.”
His eyes widened in shock, and he said, “Oh man, that took me a really long time to build. I just finished it!”
After a moment, the mom softly asked, “Are you mad?” – His response brought her to tears.
He took a deep breath and said, “I want to be mad, but yesterday when I broke your favorite plate, you didn’t get mad at me. You said it was just a plate and you didn’t make me feel bad. I know that you liked the plate as much as I liked the LEGO ship. It is okay, mom. I can rebuild it.”
That mom just realized that she could tell her kids all day long what kinds of people she hoped they would be. She can ask them to be loving and kind, but in the end, they will be what she shows them to be not what she told them to be!
HAVE A NICE DAY…TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
