Just Pass Me By

If I hug you, do I get my way. I am fairly sure this is what one of my little kids thinks who I work with. I expect a lot from the children I work with, but I am also sometimes a little to helpful and I’ve been working on not being so helpful. I hate it but lets face it when they leave this program they won’t have someone there to do everything for them so I aught not.
One of my kids will smile at me then kick me, ouch my legs are starting to feel just a little tender. Oh well. Lately when some of them don’t want to do something challenging they start hugging me. I almost wonder if they think, maybe if I hug her she’ll feel bad for making work hard. I hate to say it I don’t feel bad, sometimes I want to help them and have to fight the urge to do so.
The best thing is seeing a child face lite up when they did something for the first time, or when it gets easier for them to do the activity. I love watching their faces when they finally make a connection. Sometimes it hard when they don’t wanna try.
Some times it helps to have the cardboard display for different activities, to show them what it aught to look like. I love my job and so glad I am doing it. Wow I been there for over 6 months and still love it!
