“I never would have dreamed that my 6-year-old daughter would have shed this many tears already regarding “friends.”
“No, you can’t play with us.”
“Why do you wear dresses all the time?”
“I don’t like that bow in your hair.”
“You’re too little.”
These are all things my young daughter has already had spewed at her.
So, just like my mother taught me, I tell her to kill them with kindness. As a mama bear, I remind myself that they’re just kids, after all, still learning their own ways of life.
