So this week C has been having problems in the little girl’s
room, mainly at school. I have come to the conclusion that she is afraid of
falling into the toilet. So she waits until it’s too late. One of the many blessings
of working at the same school my daughter goes too is that I can take care of
issues when they arise. So I was able to take C to the bathroom and try to work
out her fears of the potty. First, I had to hold her while she used the potty
and then I would hold her, count to 3 and flushed the toilet. She hated
this part. I think the loud noise really bothers her. After the second time,
of this interesting routine I thought it would a perfect time to teach C about
conquering fears and trusting in Jesus. When I mention Jesus to her in the
bathroom at school she became outraged and informed me that Jesus was at church
and we were at school. Then it hit me I’m doing a terrible job of teaching my
kids about Jesus! I mean I’m a teacher, Christian, even a church planter, yet I’m
relying on the church AND school to educate MY child. Parenting fail! I am
planning of changing this immediately, so if anyone has any curriculum ideas or
great Christian blogs I would love the resources…It’s going to be a busy
summer!
