Your growing children have a side effect in your mirror's reflection. As they get taller, you are also maturing. At each stage of your life, accept that this is the new you and enjoy each day to the fullest. It's going to happen anyway, so you might as well make the most of it.
Take some time to talk to your children about bullying. If they've been bullied, ask how you can help. Maybe you can request a class assignment change for the upcoming year or offer to speak to the school counselor. Show your children they can trust you. Don't criticize. Support them with a hug and a promise to help. Then follow through. Your children need to believe in you.
Break out your old school recorder (or pick one up at your local music store). Teach short songs to your kiddos. You play while they sing. Nursery rhymes are super. They already know them. You might even get your little ones interested enough to want to play themselves!
Many schools have been cancelled for the year (Corona virus woes!), but you can still make memories! Let your son get a favorite haircut, and allow your daughter to do up her face. Parks are great places for photo shoots. Pick a shady spot and snap away! Special Memories Done!
Your child's school has been impacted by the 2020 corona virus lockdown. Call them and ask if there's anything you can do to help as summer approaches. Your time ... or cookies for the office staff still on duty. They will appreciate you for your willingness to step up.
