Children
have such heart and are so intuitive. I have had so many experiences that prove
this true. As a preschool teacher in Germany 15 years ago, I was going through
a rough time. My mom had just passed and I was coping. I tend to throw myself
into my work keep busy and my mind off things when I am going through hard
times. The children in my class when I returned seemed to be extra loving and
caring. As the day passed my co-teacher, a very insensitive person said
something to me that rubbed me wrong and I was thrown off balance and was
having to concentrate to control emotional. The students were outside as I was
cleaning up the art table. I was trying to gather myself, and thought I was
doing ok, but the teachers outside sent little Ashley in to go potty. Ashley
walked over to me and patted my leg.
Ashley: “What’s
wrong Ms. Jocelyn?"
Me: “Oh
nothing”, I told her.
Ashley: “Why
are you sad? “
Me: “oh my
heart just hurts “
Ashley gave
me a squeeze and told me she loved me, the tears started to fall, but I quickly
got my composure. Ashley stayed close to me the rest of the day. What a heart
that little 4 year old had. Since then I have taken the time to observe
children and their intuitiveness.
