This can be helpful for identifying why you might be doing the things you're doing now in your adult life.

We tend to want to feel good, so if we remember getting praise for helping or rescuing or care-taking or being strong or not crying or for being the best... We may have become wired to keep doing this to feel good enough or loved.

The truth is that we are worthy of love just for being ourselves 💗🙏🏼

🌟 Isn't it just a bit funny how life works sometimes? 😄 When we're having a tough day, we hope for grace and compassion from others.

Yet, when our little ones have a meltdown, we might feel a tad inconvenienced or frustrated. 🙈👶

But here's the thing: they're still learning, with less life experience to handle big emotions. 💕

Let's keep offering them understanding and patience during their toughest moments – that's when they need it most. ⭐💬 .

“I drive a school bus and have a 6 grader who I would like to talk about.
Last week he was talking about an elderly neighbor not leaving her house for weeks. I tried to explain how hard it could be for her to do things. On Tuesday I pulled up and he wasn't at the stop waiting. I looked over and saw him shoveling her porch. I was early so I waited for him. The other kids asked why I waited. I said anyone helping someone deserves a few extra minutes. All the kids started asking him questions about his neighbor. The next day 7 children got on the bus with blankets, food and cards for the elderly woman. I delivered them after worked. Now everyday she stands on the porch and the whole bus waves good morning. I am so proud of him for stepping up and doing the right thing. He taught all the children something important. I smile with pride in my heart because of the extraordinary children I have on my bus.” ❤
