Whatever happened to happy, healthy children?
And why are the majority of the world’s population unable to see how sick we’re making our own kids?
This morning, I took my daughter to a local doctor. I’ve was in the waiting room when a young woman was called in to one of the doctor’s offices here. She had 2 young children with her - maybe 2 and 5 years old or thereabouts - an older girl and a younger boy. They had been very happily playing together in the waiting room - fit, happy and beautiful.
Within a couple of minutes - this happened:
He was constantly screaming and the word I heard over and over again from this little mite was NO and OW!
And it went on and on and on. As I sit here writing this, they are outside and the screaming is continuing. His face is bright read, his voice is high and he is inconsolable.
What do you think could possibly cause a child to respond in this way?
And what the hell possesses us as parents with 2 brain cells to rub together to bring our healthy children to a doctor in absolutely perfect condition and take them out like that and somehow think it’s normal?
How did we as mothers totally squelch our instincts to protect our children so thoroughly? Where did the mama bear, the mama lion get to?
Can we PLEASE bring her back?
