Today Thursday Thought. I am almost forgot to make a Thursday Thought this week as it has been the Easter break and the structure of the days feel repetitive. I am losing track of which day it is just now.

Today I just want to say” It’s Okay to feel your feelings.” Rocket and I had a long talk about feelings and how we are all doing in this strange world. As mum I really want Rocket to feel comfortable about expressing how he feels. As an adult man he will be okay with feelings and sensitive to other people’s feelings too. He is at that age “Tween years.” where it might not be so cool to talk to Mum and Dad.

It is great the school has a councillor and they had an online check in with all his classmates. It made Rocket feel so much better. The counsellor sent some useful links. So if your kids or you as a parent are having a hard time processing all this check. out theses links.
