'Make the choice to show up, be present, and jump. Stop being a bystander in your child’s life, sidelined by worry over whether he might have a meltdown.' mamaontherockz
I’ve spent most of motherhood on the sidelines. I was always tending to the needs of my children, making dinner, folding clothes, doing all the things summed up as “mom will do it.”
I have felt those whispers in my bones. But at some point — to save our own sanity — we must choose to ignore them. So today I decided to say “no” to fear and jump in, with both feet, socked and sweaty. I took our son to the trampoline park as his reward for having a great week at school. Instead of eating ice cream or sitting in a movie theater, where I could duck out or hide in the dark, I made the decision to jump.
Being there yesterday — really being present with my boy instead of being cramped by fear or anxiety — brought me more joy than I have ever known on the sidelines. We jumped and we bounced. I dominated six children in trampoline dodgeball.
