One of the best ways in which to show our appreciation to our children is to give them a fresh start each day. As we do, we send a strong message of acceptance and forgiveness, regardless of any setbacks experienced on the previous day. In a climate of hope, we celebrate with them the importance of failing and trying again as part of a valuable learning process. As children feel valued, they practice personal kindness and leave behind any feelings of personal doubt, shame or remorse. A lens to daily renewal helps our children bring their best selves to their life experiences, and to all of their relationships. With hope and resilience, they safely shift to a new day as an opportunity to learn from the previous one. These fresh starts encourage our children to approach things differently, and with better outcomes.
As we develop a healthy relationspace with our children, let’s also mindfully give ourselves the gift of a fresh start each day!
