Wow! My second year in second grade. This year I taught my son, Luke, again. I loved having him. This year he was older and we only has 2 meltdowns of him not getting his way!
He has always been my stubborn child. I was blown away when last year he got the flexible award from his first grade teacher and then this year for Kanakuk camp he got the Same character award. Flexible is something I don't see often in Luke, my sweet but very stubborn child!
But isn't that how it is? We raise our kids and see them one way but how they act elsewhere can be different. It reminds me to not get stuck in how I perceive my kids. As a teacher it also reminds me to listen to parents. Their concerns of certain behaviors really can be justified! I have witnessed this with my own child. So thanks my Stubborn-Flexible Luke for teaching me!
Love,
Mrs. Venable
Aka Mom
