Wednesdays are always really long. It seems like the week should be almost over, but of course it’s not. The Kid’s Wednesdays are very, very full, and it’s stressful for him. “I didn’t have any free time today, Mom.” Poor guy. But stressful for The Kid means stressful for me, too. I will say, however, that seeing him so anxious seems to bring out the best in me. I’m at my most attentive and patient and helpful when he is at his most frustrated, irrational and exasperated. I think that’s because he needs me most then.
I plan to resume the “My Peeps” posts here in the next little bit. Nobody who blogs is safe! Mwah-hah-hah!
kids do seem to get overscheduled these days what with increased homework, outside activities and church. maybe you could schedule some free time for him on a daily chart and he might feel better about it actually seeing : free time: written on it.
just a thought anyway. sure hate to see kids get stressed.
Sounds like a rock song: My peeps - my peeps - da da da da da da
Maybe you could get the other leg to match, and then at least be consistent.
