A Prayer for Kids at School

A Prayer for Kids at School Dropping your kid off at school is both exciting and it kind of hurts a bit. It’s exciting to see them make friends, be under the influence of other adults, and grow in their understanding of how the world works. But there’s also that little bit of sadness that creeps in—even on the days you need a break—as you see your little boy or girl walk through those big glass doors at school or up the stairs into the bus. School brings up so many emotions, doesn’t it?!—the joy of getting a break, the excitement of growth, the worry that your kid will get hurt, the concern you have about education these days, and the pain of knowing that at some point some other kids will say something hurtful. And maybe the biggest thing that becomes clear? You are reminded that you don’t have as much control over the life of your little buddy or girlie as you wish you had.
