Lessons to learn

A few weeks ago Emily was banned from Kids Club at The Lighthouse on Saturday and Sunday mornings. She was fairly upset, but I was fairly adamant! Every time I got up to teach or explain a game or demonstrate a craft, Emily would have a temper tantrum. It was not working for anyone. So until such time as she goes a full week without a temper tantrum, Kids' Club is off limits.

I tell Emily: " You really need to learn to control your temper."

Emily nods in agreement. Thinks. Then says - "Yes, I do" then adds " ...and you need to learn to be nicer. And Daddy needs to learn to be patient. And Jonty needs to learn to be gentle. And Nina needs to learn to stop taking my toys."

We all have lessons to learn, even a 3-year old knows that!
