A NOTE TO KEEP IN YOUR POCKET
You don’t have to
make every moment
a teaching moment.
Some days, the little things are the whole thing. A silly voice. A shared snack. Sitting together for one more page.
The same book again? There’s room for that.
Here’s to your kind of good enough.
With love, Social Stories ♡
