I read an article in the past couple of weeks {which I can’t find now to reference} that listed the top worst things you can say to your small child.
One of them was hurry up.
Dear person who wrote the article, have you ever met a preschooler?
Huuuuuuurrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuppppppppp!
Love Bug is ruined. And it’s all my fault!
Apparently.
It’s tough not to say “hurry up” (5000 times) when you feel like the whole day is being negotiated waist deep in molasses. I remember that feeling when I was a teacher. The first couple of months of 3rd grade things slow down to a preschool tempo. GAH!
I can’t imagine negotiating with more than one of them! Teachers deserve medals 🙂
Sometimes my person says that to me when we’re on our walk and I’m in front of her on a narrow trail. Oh no, I’m ruined!
You’re in good company Bongo!
Look on the positive at least by figuring this out you have saved her a life time and thousands of pounds worth of therapy ;0)
