It happens fast…

Good morning,

I’ve been thinking lately about how my kids are becoming people.

It’s scary to think they’ll be grownups before I know it.

While they still fight about ridiculous things (stop looking out my car window!), more conversations revolve around life lessons.

Things like taking pride in your work and helping out a friend.

Some days I’m proud of them. Others, I worry they have so much to learn.

And time is ticking by.

Today’s articles help you make space for these critical moments.

At parent-teacher conferences a few years ago, my 2nd grader received a “three things I love about you” scratch off. In it, her teacher expressed how she loved my daughter’s effort, spirit, and kindness.

That, alone, was SO sweet. But then, my older son saw it. He had this same teacher two years prior.

He said happily “oh, I have mine too!”

And to my complete shock, that kid RAN upstairs and got his scratch off paper FROM TWO YEARS AGO out of his room. In 60 seconds flat. (No small feat considering his room was a disaster)

I got all teary. My son is not a sharer, so I never knew it filled a special place in his heart. Not in a million years would I have guessed that he would keep that one piece of paper.

And that’s the thing.

Even if it doesn’t seem like your kids appreciate the effort you put in now, they will someday.

(Or they do now and don’t tell you.)

You never know when the effort will turn into a treasured moment.
