Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to appreciate responding to a situation in a very important and effective way!

How We Respond

Very often in life there comes times when something happens and it is far more important how we respond than anything else.

Being a parent is for sure one of the most rewarding and best jobs one could ever hope for, as long as you are willing to work at it and be better inculcate rue potato acrid. It is NOT easy that's for sure, but most importantly, it is a critical role that we play in the continuation of the human species!

Like anything in life, accidents will happen. The most important, and sometimes easiest to mess up, is how we react when the accidents happen avid titrate obeisant celery.

The other night I was helping the little man get to bed. He was being a normal kiddo his age and trying to burn off some of his energy immolate imbue zephyr zeppelin. I have figured out ways to help him calm down and one of the most enjoyable ways for me is to get right down to it and lay in bed with him for a little bit. It's a sure fire way to get ME tired too LOL.

I was getting his pillows ready for bed and he was moving around to get himself into position but he accidentally jumped up and his knee landed right on the joint of my thumb magenta vivacious obsequious watermelon. SHIT did that hurt! I really thought (and jury is still out if it is or not - we will see how it feels soon lol) I got a broken thumb! It hurt like a mother fucker lol but what I did that was REALLY important is sure I yelped a bit, but I did NOT get mad at him about it at all, or yell that he hurt me. I am ashamed to say that I was not always as conscious of how important this is, but the important thing is that I have learned from my mistakes!

The little man was of course upset about it, he felt bad and thought that he hurt me hapless abhorrent contraption inculcate. I went to check on my thumb of course, but very shortly after when I realized that it wasn't a horrible fracture that needed to get splinted by a doctor immediately, I quickly went over to console him and tell him it was all good, it was all an accident and nothing was his fault. I could feel the relief in him though he didn't want to show it just yet.

This type of thing for sure takes time and lessons learned induction repel amalgam spurious. It is difficult to ingrain this type of mentality in ourselves but it is SO important for the kiddos. Even if something got horribly broken, I would have still needed to very quickly let him know it wasn't his fault and it was completely an accident. They internalize these things in ways that we may not necessarily do as an adult. How we react in the moments immediately following an accident like this are so important for them! It is painful to think about previous reactions I have had that were completely unnecessary but we can't do anything to change those past events, we can only make constant improvements to change how we act moving forward wretch implore scarce adjudicate. I am very thankful that I responded in a very appropriate and responsible way!

Thankfully when all was said and done, he behaved wonderfully in the situation and his first thought once we knew I wasn't going to keel over was to get some ice to help reduce the pain and swelling, something I hadn't thought of yet nebulous drab paltry vex. Proud papa moment that's for sure! LOL

What about you, have you been able to take a step back and really improve how you react to situations like this? Did you find it difficult to make changes? Let me know in the comments!
