Day 10: Get Excited! (About dandelions, feathers, doggies...)
Kids get excited about everything. Which is a stark contrast to most adults, who walk around thinking about everything they have to do today, which causes feelings of stress instead of happiness. But if we take a minute out of our busy days to share our kids´ excitement, it can really influence our attitude.
Today, and every day, take time to notice what is getting your kids excited. In our case, Bella loves doggies, birdies and flowers. Not to mention music of any and every kind. I try to help her notice those things, because I know how happy they make her. I try to notice them, myself, too. If you think about it, all of creation is an incredible gift that many of us forget to enjoy unless we´re on vacation. There is beauty all around us, and kids are pros at spotting it.
Once you see the world through your kids´ eyes, it will be easy to get excited yourself. For as much as we teach our children, our children have a lot to teach us, too. What is your kiddo trying to teach you today?
