My friend is a montessori teacher, and she mentioned the other day how montessori recognizes 8 as a big year for a child. I was amazed to hear her take on it, about how it's their entering the world and becoming an individual year. Just bittersweet to watch from a mama's perspective.

My oldest child has hit the "8 mark" and I don't like it. A co-worker and I were just discussing how for the first time ever, we would like to put the protective bubble on our child. Being 8 seemed to change it all... in all the ways you've just described. And now you have the guilt of knowing that the child understands the expense of life, treats and unfortunately, the expense of being different. It's the little things, like rubber boots -- will wear at home but definately not to school. The peer acceptance level has just been added to every decision... why can't kids make decisions based on reasoning? <br />It is one tough job to be a Mama in this time... we can only do our best. And you are doing a great job with your little ducklings! :-) Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7562145345528898228.post-35086132701188448492012-10-26T13:14:37.160-04:002012-10-26T13:14:37.160-04:00Oh Victoria...

It is something that I obsess about every year and you are so right, it is a symbol of that time that you can or can't give. I'd pass you a hankie if I could. <br /><br />Mine are damp too though, with the everyday things. At our house, it is the first real instance of bullying... nothing too horrible, but one never wants to start down that path. <br />Take good care of your Mama self and your brood too!Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140293064792420724noreply@blogger.com
