This is a post about Comparison. . . As the school year begins, I often take some time out to reflect on where S is at...academically, socially, emotionally, physically. And as a parent, one of the biggest things that comes up, like a little devil on our left shoulder, is comparison. Comparing where our children are at with where other children their age are at. We start it when they're born, we chat about it in mums groups and amongst friends, we sometimes quietly judge, we feel pride when our kid is doing well. . . . The fact is, every child develops at different stages. Some kids will be reading at 4 and some will struggle until they're 8. Some will be doing mental maths in reception while others stumble on adding in Year 2. . . . This year rather than focus on what your child isn't able to do yet, focus on what they are flourishing at. S hates maths but he loves writing, reading, silly dancing, singing, riding his bike, playing football and much more. He's funny and witty and notices the smallest of details (like the shape of the 13 bus has changed?!) There's always more positives than negatives. So although I got angry over the summer and threatened to send him back to reception to learn his numbers (🙈) I've learnt the error of my ways. Comparison is a bitch, don't let it cloud all the great things your child is doing. . . #backtoschool #comparison #comparisonfree #liveyourlife #allingoodtime #letthembelittle #comparisonisthethiefofjoy #comparisontrap #school #newterm #happyseptember #ittakesallsorts #pout
