If you find yourself reassuring your young child ‘you’ll be OKAY!’ over and over again⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
...but it feels like they just don’t believe you … and you’re getting tired of saying it…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking for a way to help them, this post is for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Yesterday I caught myself asking my 6 yr old question after question after school. He’s in FI and he’s anxious about it. He's also picked up on the pre-teen’s pessimistic attitude about school. arg ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I worry. And I try to help.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I KNOW better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Talk talk TALKING at him will not ease his worries, or make it all magically ‘okay’. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s so simple actually when you know the things to NOT do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you really think about it⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> constantly telling kids they’re OKAY makes them wonder why you keep saying it…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> pestering questions are annoying ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(‘Mom? MOM. MOOOOMMMM‘ Right?!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyone sortof knows what we should do to help, but old habits, #amiright?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I did better.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before school, I was able to reassure Max that he'd be FINE -- without saying a word.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Worked like a charm too - he left us this morning humming. ❤️️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to help your kids handle their day without even saying a word...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a simple tool that I made a while back 😂 I just had to remember to use it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
