Things... just fine the way they are

Children often need reassurance that they are growing - both inside and out. Growing takes time, and the changes are sometimes so small that the waiting seems endless. We can help children understand that waiting doesn't need to be empty time by showing them that there are many things to think about and many things to do that can make waiting easier. Of course, the most important thing for all of us to remember (children and adults alike) is that no matter how much or how little we're growing at the moment, there are many things about us that are fine just the way they are.
