And a child adopted at 4 1/2 years old? I see your head nodding in my imagination, so I’m going to go ahead and make that suggestion — um… statement. I hurt and flinched and winced as I read from my own experiences. Our adopted kids’ desperate need to FEEL FELT far surpasses the “labor” of cleaning up a wet floor. I am so guilty of past shame-labor. Where I have them ‘clean up their mess’ because they should have known better. But, we are, connected-ly and nurturing-ly addressing our parenting tendencies (to aim corrected behavior) to become more merciful, more gentle. Less sarcastic. “God help us give ourselves to YOU so we give less of ourSELVES to them… MORE OF YOU!! Amen.”
