Don't Worry, Be Happy
Dear Friends of Oak Hill, I am posting today about something that is currently heavily on my mind, and I feel the need to climb briefly onto my soap box. Please forgive me and indulge me a shortish sermon. Read it and consider it for the sake of your little ones; Our job as adults, teachers, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, neighbors is to nurture, love and protect our children. We protect them from illness by ensuring proper nutrition, protect them from the cold by bundling adequately in the winter, see to it that they nap and sleep enough, scour food labels for unwanted ingredients, have car seats inspected to maximize their safety in the back seat, put sun hats, sunscreen and tick repellent on them when they play outside, vaccinate them so they avoid unnecessary diseases, and make sure that their bike helmet is the right size in case of a fall.... the list goes on and on, and frankly at times can feel exhausting.... and yet we do them all, unquestioningly. It has come to my ear...
