Remember, remember

It’s a good thing I went to conferences and was immersed in the world of trauma and looking beyond the behavior to identify the real problem, the real issue because I might have lost it when I was informed Rowan slapped her classmate because her classmate took the doll she was playing with. Mommy’s not here so I’m acting out. Things in my world are out of control and I can’t stop it or do anything about it.

Remember. Remember. So we had a discussion about why we can’t hit people or hurt people just because are very unhappy that mommy is gone for a little while. We can’t take out our frustrations and disappointments on other people. If I hadn’t been at the conference this situation would have been handled completely differently, but then again if I had been home it probably never would have occurred.
