“My kid started kicking me as I was trying just to get him up and ready for Transitional Kindergarten today.  Brutal morning!!” Yep… in this week’s episode of the podcast I share w you a situation that happened with me and my boy last year. That day, I ended up sharing w the moms in AHFAS private Facebook community about that really hard morning w my kid.   Let’s just be real…  we’ve all had crappy mornings w our kids.  Some of us may have more crappy mornings than others.    When you take that deep breath to gird yourself up for wake up time.  Some of you may know that feeling when you prepare yourself for one of two options. It’s either going to be that a choir of angels shines down on you from heaven as your kid has a relatively smooth transition to consciousness.  Or you’re gonna encounter a full-blown attack the moment you dare breathe the words,  “Good  morning, Sweetie.” Well, let me tell ya… That morning was a doozy… and at the same time, it was a morning of clarity.  Yep.  My son started kicking me as I prepared him to get ready for his morning transitional kindergarten (one more year of preschool before kindergarten in our homeschool). It could’ve gone down in flames from there, but we rebounded.   I’ll tell you why and how I handled it in today’s episode of the podcast.  If you have a child with executive functioning issues… whether your child is in preschool or is in high school… If your child tends to be familiar with volatile reactions, listen in and be encouraged.   You’re not alone and there is a better way to navigate these tough moments.  We don’t have to freak out and project years into the future… we can stay present and respond differently than the world and tradition tells us.  Listen to the episode and tell me what you think.  How do you navigate those wrong side of the bed mornings?  Sweet momma friend, we’re in this together.
