To those of you who couldn’t open it, I copy and paste it below❤️ He ran to me crying, my 5-year-old baby was hurt by a10 y/o boy... The lioness in me wanted to expose claws and remove the danger from her baby, for good... BUT the mom and the person in me guided me to look at the other kid... the "Danger" ... He may be older than my cub but he is still a kid... and I know that he lived a complicated life, I know he had to go thru some experiences that were out of his control, I know that he and his family are working on it and he is getting better... I also know that he barely has any friends because sometimes parents and kids have a hard time forgiving and most importantly I know that he tries, he tries so hard... For some of us, it is natural to behave a certain way, for others it requires much more effort... and for him, it's a daily struggle and he is doing his best, sometimes he loses the battle against himself but I know that with the right support he will win this war... So after I reminded myself all that, and after I cured my little one with hugs and love, I called the kid, he looked at me with sad eye and his head down (proabably thinking "another adult to tell me how bad I am" ) and I just gave him a hug, I told him, that I know he didn't mean to do it and I see how hard he tries and I trust him to make a better choices next time, I also asked him if he can show my boy the project he was working on (it was a big deal form him)... his eye lit and a big smile showd on his face... it made him so happy...and I ... I just gave my kid a great lesson how to turn a potential enemy to a friend... I wish we will all remember that before anyone causes pain (to themselves or others) they experience pain inside them... Causing them more pain is the last thing they (and this wold) need... May we will have the creativity, wisdom and the energy to lift those around us because many times, the natural reaction does the opposite... #parenting #empathy #judgeless #love #seetheotherside #judgelesslovemore #lifecoach #kids #practiceyogaoffthemat https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxdq7KgpTlH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v0j13yxya0n2
