I blew it big time
Today I let my girls color in an old coloring book I had, one of those that are a bit more expensive than the average and much more detailed. My first grader isn't really that great at coloring, she has Asperger's and I really got down on her. I told her she's supposed to go in between the lines, not scribble, and use more than 2 colors. Then I wouldn't let her do any more. This was shortly after she did one picture for me, which I had quickly taped to the wall in my bedroom.
Right now, my dd is asleep. Of course, that's when I realize I messed up and really broke her little heart. Now I'm the one who is crying. Sometimes I wish one of you more experienced, gentle mamas could be a fly on my wall and tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to change it. I grew up in a very dysfunctional home and never intended to abuse my kids. But I think I just did verbally today. I hope someday she could forgive me for being such a mess up. Thanks for listening. |
