You miss your child’s small changes and look for signs of good luck today.
Even when you notice a small change in your child, by the end of the day you find yourself thinking first about whether you were lucky rather than what they…
Scenes
- You overlook your child’s small changes — Even on the day your child picked a colored pencil and started drawing on their own, you find yourself wondering first if you were lucky.
- You count how many good things happened — When you think back on whether you were lucky today before bed, it’s easy to forget what your child did on their own.
- Luck and growth leave different traces — Luck is something good that happens unexpectedly. Growth is when something your child has tried carries over to the next time.
- Think of one thing they did before bed — If you jot down one thing your child did on their own today, you can tell it apart from thoughts about luck.
- Small changes show up again the next day — It’s okay to write it down just once. If you see the same thing again tomorrow, you can notice it then, too.
