MY DAUGHTER DOESN’T SAY MUCH... . Well, we have had her in speech therapy for a few months and she still doesn’t speak yet in full sentences. I just think she is stubborn and doesn’t say anything until she really means it. . THERE IS THIS GIRL at school , let’s call her ‘Joy’ for the sake of privacy, who is in Sloane’s preschool class. Joy is the sweetest little girl with a big heart. Joy was born with one arm. The little kids don’t notice her handicap. The big kids do. Sloane’s teacher pulled me aside the other day and said’ you know , you have one compassionate and caring daughter.’ Then she proceeded to tell me a story... . . Joy was playing on the playground and an older boy poked fun at her. The teacher shooed him away, but Joy appeared sullen. Sloane ( who again rarely says much), comes over to Joy unprompted, puts her arm around her, and says gently’ you are beautiful.’ They then held hands and began to play. . . Honestly people- we need more kindness in this world. Let’s lift each other up and embrace our differences. The ironic thing is, to kids who are ages 2 and 3- friendship doesn’t have a color. An ethnicity. A gender. A body state. Friendship is simply a concept based on enjoying life together and sharing laughs about the same things. It’s really up to parents to make sure it stays that way. #preachkindness . .
