Summertime can be tough on families with attachment challenges and behaviors. My friend Amy wrote this little poem (Dr. Seuss style) last week. It brought a smile to my face, I thought it might for you too!!
:)
I do not like this kid of mine, I do not like them at this time.
Kicking, hitting, screaming “I hate you!”- oh the awful things this kid will do!
Love them, hug them, help them trust? Some days I think my head will bust.
Stealing, lying, hoarding food….can this kid do any good?
Love them, love them, don’t dare stop! Even when your heart might pop.
Wounded, broken, heart torn in two. Heal their scars? What can we do?
Hugging them ten times a day, will it make it all okay?
Be consistent, stay the course….could things get any worse?
Pray, pray, down on your knees! Beg the Lord to help you please.
I do not like this kid of mine, I do not like them at this time.
But, I will love them, yes I will! I will love them each day still.
I will love them every day, until they know they're here to stay!
Yes I will love them, yes I will! I will love them each and every day...
Until they know our love will never go away!
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
