When I first read this book with my 3 year old daughter, I felt seen. 👀 As a parent, it’s hard not to have Whatifs about your kids; and while these thoughts can be positive, they are often negative. What if they fall and get hurt? What if they aren’t eating enough? What if they aren’t sleeping enough? What if I’m not doing enough?
The Whatifs are anxiety. Anxiety is a feeling. All feelings are okay. 💯👍🏽 As Cora learns in Emily Kilgore’s beautifully relatable book “The Whatifs,” it is what we DO with those feelings that matter.
🌟Parents, you are enough.🌟
➡️Read this together with your child this week and take turns sharing your own personal Whatifs and brainstorm a couple strategies that might help reframe them just like Cora did. 💕
