Blog Every Day September Challenge, Day 8
Day 8 (Sunday). Best piece of advice you have ever received. Who was it from?
I have worked many years in various different childcare settings, most of my working career has been with children. My first year working the evening shift at a local conference center childcare I had a supervisor who told me, “Let them be little, never encourage a child to act older than they are, never scold a child for acting their age.” SO true. I know I’m guilty of it, I mean really… two years old is a hard age for child AND mommy. I hope to remember that advice more often. Let them be little.

That is really important. I volunteer with kids regularly now but it isn’t something I’m natural at. I acted really mature as a kid but I have to remember that most kids aren’t like that…and that’s good ! We have enough time to be adults!

To often we hear about children acting wayyyy older than their actual age.
