One of the nice things about young children is that they often believe their parents can do anything. And be honest, most days it feels like we must be able to do anything and it can be quite a struggle.
Sometimes my boys expect things that are impossible though, and no, they are not asking me to fly them to the moon or something exciting like that. On a nearly daily basis I have discussions with my boys about the weather…They really believe I can change it 😀
‘Mom, I don’t like the sun in my face. Turn it off.‘
(This one I can do by moving them in the shade.)
‘Mom, it’s too warm, fix it.’
(Ehm, stick your head in the fridge sweetie. )
(Ehm, you don’t really need to wear a jacket with 30 degrees, take it off, that helps.)
(Go inside/ move into the shade.)
‘Mom, it’s raining, I don’t want to get wet.’
(I put on the cover.)
(Wear a raincoat /use an umbrella my boy.)
(Go in the house, sweetie.)
But now the real challenge. When we are walking/cycling to school they say: ‘Mom, I don’t like the wind, stop it.’
Ehm….. Right.
Any suggestions?
