My inner child at play
Today while volunteering at the Church Thrift Shop I got to entertain one of the children whose parents came for food pantry. I purchased two hand puppets and allowed my inner child to play with the two year old- no easy task. Building trust with toddlers can be done with finese’ (sp) but they are for the most part engaging and love imaginatory games and songs. For that matter so do I-humor and play are part of a healthy way to deal with stresses. Volunteering is also good for the soul and others too. It is not easy for many to ask for assistance and for them to feel welcome and at ease is necessary to preserve their dignity.
