See me through my mum`s eyes!

My mum told me that I'm the best gift she`s got in her life. She has also said that every time she wakes up in the morning, I'm the first thing that comes to her mind and then she gets happy in her heart and feel very lucky because she has me. There's plenty more she has said but I will not say it all because it takes many many pages .. And every time she says things like that to me I get sooo happy and smiles a big smile.

I'm only 6 years old and I am in first grade. I am fortunate to have a teacher that I like and think she is really good. We are a lot of 6-7 year olds in our class. We're very different, but most of us are very curious and ask a whole lot. Sometimes we forget to raise our hand as well. At times we may be troubled. I am aware that it can sometimes be a bit too much for our teacher. Just because she can not respond to 15 six-year-olds at the same time.

Because of that, I will gladly help you to help us so we all have a good day.

-As I said many times now, I'm 6 years. I like attention and it does not hurt with a whole lot of love either! I need it. That is also a need No. 3 on the pyramid Maslow made the long, long time ago.

- And love , i find it in a lot of things, but most of all in the way you talk to me. I can not explain exactly how, but I notice it. I find love in the way you come to me and help me when i need your help. When you caress my hair, my hand or my back. When you take the time to talk with me about things that are not important to you at all but you do it for my sake. Now, I know we are many children, you have a job to do and you can not do all these things with me all day, but once in a while. It does not take long and it makes me feel I am being seen and heard. I like it when adults say something nice to me. Imagine if all adults had thought about it and said something nice to us every day, then I think we had lived on it all day. It doesn`t need to be much, but such small things as: how nice your hair looks today, cool sweater you had, so good you were at this and that .., it takes what? 4 seconds to say it to each of us, and together let's say it takes 4-5 minutes a day. But it enhances everything we do throughout the day.

I have heard the adults say, It's much better to prevent than to cure.

- It also happens that I do things I should not, things that are not so nice to do, even stupid things. Sometimes I do it just for fun, I think it's fun because some of my friends laugh at it and then I think, they liked it, they'll like me and they are going to want to play with me even more if I'm doing even crazier things, and so it happens that someone gets hurt because of what I have done. Then I being approached. Perhaps it would have been a good idea that they were trying to find out first what the real reason was for what happened, also work with it instead of being angry and "attack" me. Because sometimes I think just to play and it happens accidentally. Do not think that I want others to get hurt because of me. I would never hurt anyone intentionally. On the contrary, I like to help others. I also like it when the adults ask me to do things because then I know they have confidence in me. We are learning to be confident in ourselves, so things can also happen if there are such situations where I do not know quite what to do. (Uncertainty, insecurity).

It would also be nice if they were a little more patient with me because I can not quite put into words everything. When they ask "why" , I do not know quite what to say and I have to say anything since they ask so many times, and then it's easy to say "because". Then, you know, they become a little irritated. That is when i feel that the whole world is against me, I feel like I just do stupid things, that I am mean.

I feel I must since everyone around me expects it .. ("Children lives up to expectations"). I become sad if I get "shut up" in front of my friends. They use it against me later on and I get blamed for everything. Even when I'm not to the place at all. It makes me feel pain inside me.

-I am trying to learn to think about the consequences of what I do before I do it, but sometimes I forget it. And when that happens I would like you to remind me of it, in a friendly way. That is when it enters, othervise when adults are "attacking" me, then I feel that they do not understand me, and it is so easy for me to take on the sassy-cool mask. That's when the alarm turns on inside my head and then I hear nothing of what they say. So it does not help me much. Sometimes you know when there are small things, so it is perhaps a little idea to try to ignore it. Collusion is not so stupid maybe, like eks. if I get very restless in class, we can have an agreement that I go out and run a lap around the school so that I get to use some of my energy, because you know I have a lot of energy and I would like to use it properly way, but then I need the help of adults, in that way it is not beyond all others around me.

-Please, I am learning in this world, think of it, I can a loooot less than a drop. ("What we know is just a drop, what we don` t is an ocean, "Isaac Newton.)

-I am sure you know all this, I will just remind you of it, exactly the same way how I need to be reminded of things every time it needed, until one day when I will be a big boy and be proud of all who have taught me, among others my first teacher.
