'It takes work not to parent out of our middle school insecurities.'
in my last seventeen years of parenting three kids. Lessons I wish someone would have shared with me in my early days on the job.Life is simple when you’re in preschool. This is largely because the very best things are available to everyone. There’s no invitation required for the playground. There’s no skill required to play hide and seek. There are no calorie considerations at the ice cream truck. Preschoolers know no dividing lines or disqualifying factors—yet.
We tend to overcomplicate these ideas outside of the playground microcosm. But inclusion starts by simply extending an invitation. If our families are going to stand for something, let it be the purposefulness of making a place for everyone.Admittedly, it’s somewhat inconsiderate to walk up the slide when one of your rule-following cohorts is at the top waiting to slide down. Nonetheless, there are hills to die on in parenting . I can categorically say, proper slide etiquette is not one of them.
