As a learning community... we all have the same goals. To build a better tomorrow for our little people. And that starts with us
āWhen your children walk through the door, your face needs to light up.ā ā Dr Justin Coulson's Happy Families, paraphrasing a moment shared by Toni Morrison on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
Itās such a simple concept⦠and yet, itās everything.
Reflecting as a mother, itās something Iām so, so guilty of NOT doing. Iām always busy. Distracted. Thinking ahead. And I have absolutely forgotten that what they see first is me.
My face.
My expression.
Their first mirror.
Today we were invited by Seedlings & Co. - Calamvale to Emotional Resilience in the Classroom with Dr Justin Coulson. It was a very timely reminder not just as a playworker, but as a parentāthat emotions are contagious. How we show up matters. Our energy. Our faces. Our presence.
To all our Curious Me families⦠I know I have a strong resting bitch face š. My aging brow reminds me daily how much I frown. Iāve always been aware of it, but if Iām honest, Iāve never really tried to change it.
Iām sorry. Truly. š¤¦āāļø
Our children deserve to feel seen. To feel welcome. To feel like they are the reason our eyes light up š”. Including mine, because nothing truly brings me more joy than all your amazing children š«¶.
