Was laying on a float in the pool after getting the yard mowed and
watching the clouds build back in the west. Beautiful to watch them grow
and the sun shining off of them. I started thinking about people who are caught out in storms and trying to find somewhere to get to shelter. I am sure at some point in our lives we have all had to "run and hunker down." Lots of panic in those moments.
I think a lot of kids that come to us in the mornings at school are seeking that shelter. Shelter from storms at home and shelter from feelings and struggles. The panic they feel causes them to act up and act out and dread going back out in the "storm."
The sad part is what we provide is temporary. We need parents to step up and be the foundation, the walls, and most importantly the roof that keeps these kids protected, comfortable and safe. Parents need to provide the needed boundaries. No child can be sheltered in chaos and selfishness. Again, just my take. Have a good one!
