One of the things I totally enjoyed about teaching High School was not only watching my students learn, but also my own learning experience as I taught. I learned lots about the content I was presenting, about the diverse learning styles of very different students & about myself. Needless to say, I love to learn & being a mom has ramped up my learning curve WAY MORE than any High School or college teaching I’ve done. Here are some things that I’m continuing to learn through my kids:
- giviving & being generous is better than being a “getter” or being selfish
- what’s evident on the surface doesn’t always reflect accurately what’s happening in a person’s heart
- patience – ’nuff said
- responsibility is a process & sometimes we take 3 steps forward and maybe 1 or 2 sideways
- different is different, not better or worse, just different
- little things can often be WAY MORE cool than big things ,)
