I love being a sitter because I see it as my chance to share with children the struggles I have gone through and try to explain to them how they can avoid those same struggles. Likely nothing will stick, and they’ll forget every word I ever said, but sometimes just sometimes I pray that something that I said to them makes a difference or gives them consolance in hard times. Childhood is supposed to be a happy joyful time but the reality is that life rarely lets children just be children. They have to deal with death, with stress, and with parents losing jobs. You know with people around them dying, with moving schools frequently as many kids do, with bullies seemingly to replicate faster than they can be stamped out, perhaps not looking the same as their friends in one or more ways that really bothers them…usually too fat Read more or too thin, I think every adult that interacts with a child that they care about has a sacred duty to try to share their life experience/lessons/strategies and relate it in a way that a child can understand and apply in her own life. Obviously I wouldn’t say she stabbed me so I stabbed her back but what I might say is never start a fight but once they start it, make sure you finish it so that nobody will ever call you weak again and that way you’ll avoid many more fights. I love trying to bring down my life experience to their level in a way that they can understand you know like I may not have done exactly that but I know how you’re feeling and sometimes kids don’t know what they’re feeling. They don’t know how to express it. They don’t have the words for it and to have an adult be able to kind of put those feelings into some type of words that makes sense, only imagine how amazing yeah that’s my favorite part about babysitting is trying to connect these children to some of my life experiences in a way that will bridge the gap between our ages and therefore be applicable to their lives and help them in their everyday lives to manage happier and more successful childhoods.
