Sometimes as a Mom it’s tough to let go, to let your child
do something without you, especially when they are fussing about it. But
the last few weeks had been pretty tough at LearningRx, she wanted me in the
room with her and just wouldn’t behave. I needed a break and to read a
book or something while she was in her class but there was none of that.
So after speaking with her teacher Rachel and the director Donesa, we decided
that I needed to leave her there. I would tell her I was going to the
store and would bring back an Icee for her, it would give them a little more
control and give me a break. It was not going over well with her when we told
her, she said I couldn’t leave but I did and walked to the store. When
I came back I watched her on the video camera and she was having a blast, doing
exactly what Ms. Rachel told her and learning! The last few sessions
I’ve done this over again and it’s only gotten better, Wednesday was her best
session yet. I may have to buy stock in Icee though.
I’ve learned that I have to break OUR separation anxiety and
she can grow more, I know she’s in good hands and if I have any question
there’s a video camera to check. I’ve said it before, LearningRx is
teaching Amelia skills to deal with life and is teaching me how to be a better
Mom.
Now, if I could just bring myself to leave her with a
babysitter again…
