This little one was having a rough morning and ended up laying on the floor. His mama stepped back and said, “This is how he’s been expressing himself lately.”
So I decided to do something different. I got down on his level and spoke gently to him. He began to cry, and I wiped his tears and whispered, “It’s going to be ok.”
That moment reminded me of something important. Even as adults, sometimes all we need is for someone to pause, meet us where we are, and remind us we’re not alone. Children deserve that same grace. They have bad days just like we do, and sometimes they just need space and love to pull themselves back together.
So today, try to get on someone’s level. Offer a smile, a kind word, or even a shoulder to lean on. You never know — you might be the one who gives them hope.
Spread peace. Spread love. The world needs more of it. ❤️
