Today after school Younger Boy called me SOBBING.
What on earth is wrong?
He FORGOT to go to the learning academy...ON THE FIRST DAY.
He hates to make a mistake. He hates to forget things.
Now that may sound crazy considering the amount of things he just doesn't do and the homework he skips.
This kid is PARALYZED by making a mistake. In his "world" it is much easier to not do something than to do some of it wrong.
I wish I could say I don't understand, but I do. More than he knows.
It's okay that he missed. I wish it wouldn't have been the first day, because I suspect that is when they set all of the ground rules, but it will be fine. I am not mad.
Prayers for Younger Boy to work on giving himself some grace.
