AnonyMouse_1469 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 I had one of those 'warm fuzzy moments' today................. a little one who has spent several weeks screaming at us on arrival arrived today with a big warm smile, settled in very quickly and, at snack time, turned round to me with a smile that would melt solid iron bars, then said ' I love you' to me. I said 'thankyou x, that's a really lovely thing to know'......and he said 'I do, I really love you'.........it works this childcare thing, doesn't it? After all the tears, all the screaming and ranting....well, it's just lovely!
AnonyMouse_19782 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 A lovely reward for all your love and tolerance and hard work in getting this child settled Narnia.
AnonyMouse_8457 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Awwww that's lovely and a little spooky as we had conversations about that today too - the children who had been inconsolable a few weeks ago are now as happy as can be. Sigh.
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) That is so lovely, each time i open up my setting with a cheery smile full of optimism of another beautiful day, i am seldom disappointed by the children, more by my ever growing paperwork pile and the feeling of failure when i am unable to complete all the tasks in a day. But the special moments like you describe make you realise why we do the job we do. Thank you for sharing. Edited January 27, 2012 by bridger
AnonyMouse_37030 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 its those moments that make all the tough bits worthwhile...and why we continue to do the job. You can't bottle that kind of reward!
Guest Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 those moments are the ones that make you carry on. Have to say had conversations with young parents today who restored my faith in young parents. they have 4 children but discipline well and do everything by the book, I actually had to say to them relax a bit as you are doing so well. I also had a little girl come in with her special stone for her to remember grandma by during the day when she got sad and that worked wonders as well as a little girl who every morning comes in and has to give me a hug before she goes in the main room, stand and wait until I stopped taking then gave me a big grin after her hug and just walked away smiling. If only life was that simple :)
