Anxiety to change

 And who doesnt fear change? Especially abrupt changes! 🖐

Living in today's pandemic bring out anxiety in most people. 

Last week it was back to heightened alert again and kids are kept back at home. 

It was abrupt change to routine, and for me, the help that I normally easily gets access to, ie some hours off kids during school time, and my mum who will always have her arms wide open to receive my kids whenever I needed her to, I now can't make use of. 

Fortunately for me, I still have support from Mr H and my in-laws, but these abrupt changes are not easy to just navigate, regroup, replan and execute. 

I think we all know and have heard that we should show kindness to ourselves, plan what we can do what we can and leave the rest to the Al-Mighty, so I am not gona delve into that.

I was just reminded though, that if its tough for us, it's tough for the young ones too. Knowing that kids' are still developing their self-awareness, breaking routine is not something they can easily grasp and be ok with. 

So mommas out there like me dealing with more-than-usual un-explained thantrums, from both their end and yours 😄, hang in there. Its ok for things to go haywire. Its the lessons at the end of the day, theres a lot more lesson to learn when things dont go our way. And thats also as beautiful as when kids play together harmoniously for a few collected moments haha.

This is growth, and growth is always positive.
