Caregivers

I Woke up this morning with the sound of a crying child.He is four years old .It was 6:40 am for the love of God and I it hurt my feelings🥹🥹🥹🥹.Am imagining how his day will be,how he will feel sitting in that classroom in pain.He kept saying “Ni yeye amenikanyaga”Am assuming a sibling stepped on him and he got punished,he couldn’t stop saying it and kept crying loudly alone outside🤦🤦🤦🤦.So I called out his name and as soon as I did he kept quiet.Sometimes all a kid needs is a little attention just a bit.Someone to assure them they are seen an heard and that they aren’t alone.The number one cause if trauma for children is neglect ,any form of neglect.House girls will be the agents of pain for this generation .Nobody is great at this parenting thing you know🤷🤷Most days we are just winging it and hoping it’s the best of us.Most days as parents we mess up big time,but the next day we show up and try again because parenting is a full-time job.What happens then when we have to leave them with caregivers because chasing the bag is part of parenting.Do we ask what happened during the day ?Do we listen when our kids tell us that they went through something?Do we take a minute to understand what happens in their daily life? Because if we don’t one day we are going to wake up to a traumatized generation. Then we will blame them for the way they turned out.
