PARENTS: LOVE and PLAY with your kids

My epiphany…

Yesterday, I was “playing” tug-of-war” with my thirteen year old son over his comforter (actually, trying to get him out of bed). We went back and forth, with him lying back down each time he pulled. I gave one strong pull, which caused him to hit his head on the bunk bed, hard. I felt TERRIBLE! He moaned a bit, while I begged for forgiveness, and tried to rub his head.  I wanted to “mommy him”, and make it all better. Then, I decided to do the opposite, and tell him to yell at me, not to forgive me, etc. He began to laugh, harder and harder, until we were both laughing, and I was hugging him and begging forgiveness.

Strangely enough, he later told his teacher about playing tug-of-war with his mom, leaving out the painful part.

What a lesson to learn! I felt like crying. He must have enjoyed playing with mom, anyhow. Amazing! Kids just want to have fun with their parents. Play On!
