“So often children are punished for being human. Children are not allowed to have grumpy moods, bad days, disrespectful tones or bad attitudes. Yet, us adults have them all the time. None of us are perfect. We must stop holding our children to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves.”
Children experience grumpy moods and bad days, just like adults do. It’s unfair to expect perfection from them when we, as adults, can’t meet that standard. Teaching compassion begins with understanding their emotions.
