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 its a yucky day, you can get a hug.
Extra addition from this afternoon: Dont get distracted and your feet will stay on the sidewalk and not too full of snow.
