Stuck Indoors? Turn your indoor day into something magical and adventurous!

By Nicole Black Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Radio Flyer. The opinions and text are all mine. Our normally adventurous, let’s-go-explore-little-girl couldn’t go outside.

At first thoughts of ... “I’m not cute enough.

My teeth aren’t white enough.” ... flooded my head.

And then I took a moment to celebrate the true wins.

I CAN smile again.

  • A simple classic game. But so much opportunity for connection. 
What’s your favorite family game?
  • This is my date for Valentine’s day. 
At 13 I have to embrace every moment he would choose to have dinner with his mama. 
Every day might not be perfect but I choose to use moments like these to anchor me for when times get hard. 
How are you connecting today?

His response could have been ... Not right now...
I’m busy.

But instead ... he simply said ... Sure!

These two are like peas and carrots.

This is a little girl that loves her papa.

This is a papa that loves his little girl. .

  • Today my son broke his glasses 👓
.
He wasn’t hit by a football🏈
.
He wasn’t being careless⁉️
.
He didn’t step on them on accident 🤦🏻‍♀️
.
No. He broke them because he was mad. 😡
.
He had a rough day at school (understatement)
.
They use a “seclusion room” when children are disregulated
.
Today my son could NOT calm on his own. .
He shared he went between screaming and throwing his glasses to try to get out...
😡
To crying on the floor thinking he’d never get out.
😭
This was the result. .
I could get mad that we have to get new glasses.
I could scold him for having a fit at school.
I could punish him for all the destruction.
.
Instead, I choose to connect with him.
. 
He’s been isolated enough and that didn’t end well.
.
Tonight we will connect and plan how to alter the results when he gets upset.
.
What choices could he make differently?
What could he say? 
How could he calm himself next time?
