Children can Just Show Up too!

7/13/2017

We often visit our cousins and their four amazing daughters; six year old Elyse
and seven year old triplets, Giavanna, Brielle and Vivienne.

The girls and I talked about what might make someone sad, and that it can be uncomfortable
and how they could Just Show Up. Here’s how our conversation went:

Me: “Thanks for being here ladies. We were talking about some things that might make someone you love or care about sad. What could make someone sad?

Elyse: “When you trip and skin your knee.” (Yes, that hurts!)

Gia: “When you get stuck in a tree and you’re very very sad! (Or scared!)

Brielle: “When your dog dies.” (Or someone you love dies!)

Viv: “When you get stepped on.” (Embarrassed or hurt)

Me: “Good answers! So we can’t always fix things but maybe we can help people to feel better. What can we do?”

Girls: “Just Show Up!!”

Me: Right! How can we Just Show Up?

Elyse: “Like, if something breaks you can just replace it with the same thing but it’s new!”
(Sure, that’s a great idea… if you can!)

Gia: “You can read them a book to keep them calm, so they don’t get really really sad again!”
(I think that’s a wonderful idea! Read them a book to keep them calm and then
​you’re spending time with them too. Wonderful!)

Brielle: “You can kiss them…giggle giggle! (You CAN kiss them and you can laugh with them. That’s another great idea, or hug too!)

Viv: “You could sing to them.” (Yes, that could make somebody feel better!)

Me: “So, we can’t fix it and somebody might still be sad, but you know what, all we need to do is three words…
​Girls yell: “Just Show Up!”

That’s right. Thank you ladies.
You have your bracelets to remind you to

Just Show Up for yourself first,
​to Just Show Up for others and to share the message.
​
YAY!
