All Things E.Q.
Hello Parents,
In school, our motto for the week is: I don’t complain about what I can’t change.
Weather fits into that category. We can't do anything about it, but we hear people complain about it constantly! Which is fine, it can give us something to converse about, and bond over, but when the negativity and complaining begins to interfere with the quality of our experience, we have gone too far.
Complaining without action isn’t helpful. When our children complain that summer isn’t here yet (something they cannot change) all they are doing is creating more misery for themselves and losing the opportunities they do have, right now.
“Do what you can,with what you have, where you are.”
-Theodore Roosevelt
Nothing in life is perfect and there will always be something we can complain about if we choose. However, learning how to make the most of each moment (for whatever it offers us - little or much) is a far more beneficial plan of action.
The next time you hear your children complain, listen with empathy and understanding and then redirect their attention to improving the situation rather than complaining about it.
A simple example:
"I understand. I don't like doing the dishes either. It would be nicer to just watch TV right now, but this needs to get done and talking about how much we both don't like doing dishes isn't helping me feel better. Let's focus on getting the dishes done instead of how much we don't like them and then we can watch TV."
Thanks for sharing the motto each week!
Best to you,
Danna Evans
