💛 TRY THIS! ➡️ Something that worked so well for us, you know I’m not a parenting expert but this is a good one & I wanted to pass it on. 💛 School/new beginnings are so full-on for our little ones, so many sights, sounds, people to know & deal with, new situations, new food, new timetable. And then we want so hard to support our LOs, check they’re fine, show interest and hear ABOUT IT ALL! 💛 And it’s all with the best of intentions isn’t it - but I can be a bombardment without us realising. And often I think a lot of it is to sooth our own anxieties and projected anticipation about it all for them. 💛 So just try not really saying ANYTHING! Just letting them gnetly tell you at random points through the evening. Often they can’t really remember anyway, and us asking over & over doesn’t help. 💛 I love just telling all about MY day, the simple stuff - and I’m always amazed how it brings out some response & sharing about my daughter’s school day. It a natural conversation starter, without the bombardment. 💛 You might find out lots of stuff! Or they might not reply at all, but then at least you’ve shared some of the things you’ve done, which feels good to do for any of us. ➡️ Let me know if this is a help for you? And please pass on to any parents who might be going through this new phase with their little ones. Rosie xxx #backtoschool #newbeginnings
