Today while putting my son to bed, he held my hand and put it on his head and asked me to caress him. My brain's RAM system took me back to the time when I was little. When something bothered me badly, like some friend issue, some homework problems or less scores or just till recently when I had an official letter asking me for the penalty tax for a wrong return filed, the details of the problem went around in my head till I shared it with one of my parents. I used to ask them to sit by my bedside caressing my head. Their calm face and soothing touch used to tell me that it's not a big deal and I will heal or overcome it. I used to think how come they are so cool? How do they not get panicked by such a huge problem? What would it be if I were in their shoes?
And here I am, in their shoes. Really , life is a circle. I give the same calmness to my son! It is a big big BIG deal for me. I am a grown up! I am equipped to handle his problems! I can show him peace when he is freaking out!
There is so much learning when you have a guru in body of a tiny toddler.
