It's a funny thing about life,
Once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for,
You begin to lose sight of the things that you lack..

I sometimes forget
that I was created for Joy.
My mind is too busy.

My Heart is too heavy
for me to remember
that I have been
called to dance
the Sacred dance of life.

I was created to smile
To Love
To be lifted up
And to lift others up.

O’ Sacred One
Untangle my feet
from all that ensnares.

Free my soul.
That we might
Dance
and that our dancing
might be contagious.

So understanding that children are not adults has always been a particular passion of mine. I find that we expect more of childrens behavior then we do of adults. “You need to learn responsibility” is a common phrase in education and so many kids just need a little more grace, less distractive environments, more assistance, help with focus or follow through. Example: a kid with ADHD that cant get his homework from his locker to the classroom does not need to be punished but rather allowed time to retrieve it without the chaos of the hallway during class transition. Know your students. Do they have a history of trauma, poverty. Are they nerodivergant , autistic, cognitively or emotionally immature. Allow for different ways of organizing, thinking, learning. I could go on forever but i will stop here. Approach students/children with grace and kindness. Listen with an open mind an understanding.
