Last weekend, I had a long talk with my ten year old about the importance to respect and love yourself in order to allow people to love and respect you in return.
The conversation is a result of a string of accidents and incidents where she left things, broke things, acted like a door mat, etc.
Our five year old who has been hushed out of the room during the conversation hardly wasted a second after I left the room to question his sister on what our talk was about. To which, the answer was a short: "Mommy told me to respect myself so others can respect me as well."
Apparently, he mulls over this statement all day....for that night before bed, he came to his sister with his own conclusion:
"I think mommy is right. We should respect ourselves and not eat our boogers otherwise other people will not respect us and ask us to eat their boogers too. How gross is that?"
