The Most Resilient People in the World...

....are Children.

Today, we brought Beth to my cousin Sean's church on Lygon St. (Christian Chapel - Church of Christ). As we were chatting with our new acquaintances Charles, Andrew and Boz (she's a pri sch teacher!), Boz announced that she was taking Beth to Sunday School.

Now, we're pretty cool as parents, if I may say so myself. We've no problem letting Beth experience new situations like this and we're definitely not overprotective. So we said yes and off she went.

A half hour later, we were deep in conversation with Adrian (a new migrant like us, and brother of Benjamin, who has been here for 2 years). We poked our heads into Beth's Sun Sch class and there she was, hard at work colouring her sheet. She was totally immersed and comfy with her new surroundings (as confirmed by her teachers). As a parent, I feel joy + pride + delight at her personal development.

Children have so much to teach us.
