What a reflection reads like

Monday's reflection idea, as a child of 8 to 12 might get it. Adults get the same reflection idea written for their own life.

Example: for a child, 8 to 12

Waiting is hard for everyone. If you can wait for cookies to bake, you can wait for someone to find their shoes! When people are slow, take a big breath and say something kind.

Think about it: Who will you be extra patient with today?
