I am working with children. It is among the amazing things in my life.
Every little baby, every infant, every toddler, every child carries so many miracles
that just simply working with them is a true joy.
When students come for training to my place, some of them are a bit scared, a bit reluctant to really approach the small kids. Simple friendly approaches, like giving the children praise, talking to them, using their name, making eye contact at the same level, offering toys and allowing the child to be held by one of the parents, may make the encounter with a child more pleasurable.
But the most important thing is still our mindset:
If we go to the children's ward (pediatrics) with a mindset of "yeah, I am going to the paediatric ward" and expect the very best, this will help anyone, to see the miracles, these children carry with them and to have a pleasant and enjoyable experience with the children and the parents. It will become easy to see opportunities to help and make a positive difference for these children and their family.
Compare this with someone entering the ward with a mindset of "Oh no, I have to enter the paediatric ward". Will they see the miracles? Will they see the opportunities to do good? Will they enjoy their time learning about children?
Our mindset is our self-talk. We have the perfect free choice to choose either a "Yeah,..." or an "Oh, no,..." in the morning. Let us make this choice consciously and most importantly choose the right one for making our day, a good one. 😉
