here is some good advice from a five year old

[orleans]

When talking about our agendas for the day, I told my 5yo I was a little nervous about a meeting I have today. He said, “Mama, I am nervous all the time. I know what to do.” So friends, here is all the advice he could fit into the drive to school:

1. “You gotta say your affirmations in your mouth and your heart. You say, ‘I am brave of this meeting!’ , ‘I am loved!’, ‘I smell good!’ And you can say five or three or ten until you know it.”

2. “You gotta walk big. You gotta mean it. Like Dolly on a dinosaur. Because you got it.”

3. “Never put a skunk on a bus.”

4. “Think about the donuts of your day! Even if you cry a little, you can think about potato chips!”

5. “You gotta take a deep breath and you gotta do it again.”

6. “Even if it’s a yucky day, you can get a hug.”

Extra addition from this afternoon: “Don’t get distracted and your feet will stay on the sidewalk and not too full of snow.”
