If your like me then you have seen these numbers more often than any other number combination. Like 1:11………

Why is it when my daughter tells me she does not want to go to school, I try to reassure her that school is a great place to be. You get to see all your friends, color pictures, learn to write words and her favorite thing is recess. All that sounds pretty great right?  My daughter is more concerned about her clothing, hair and what others will think of her. I know it’s all normal to have these feeling as a young person because I can still remember when I was young. I fine today’s kids are far more concerned about what they are wearing….. Skinny jeans, I don’t like the fact that they are called skinny jeans. They are not appropriate for little girls and boys who need room to move and and run around on the playground. I’m guilty of buying skinny jeans for my daughter because I got caught up in this phase of jeans that are not really practical. She now wears jeans that are bootcut and not stuck to her little legs. I really like the idea of school uniforms but public schools to do not go by this method.  I want my daughter to know that wearing clothing that is considered cool is not who she is. I want her to be confident with herself from the inside out.  It takes a lot of mind over matter issues but if we start now I’m sure she’ll be just fine. She’s learning that being a nice person and treating others the way you would like to be treated is a far more positive foundation then lets say skinny jeans!

Another thing that bothers me is making friends. One would think that it’s pretty easy to make friends in grade 1. When I was young I was taught to be kind to everyone. My experience was not everyone wants to be your friend even if you are the nicest person. What I’ve learned was not to try to do things that others kids would approve of. Do it your way whether it’s on the monkey bars or coloring a certain way. Just be who you are that is the message I want my daughter to always remember. Not one person is the same we are all different and I want my daughter to know that it doesn’t matter what people think of you it’s what you think of your self.
