Describe the outbreak of a temper tantrum in slow motion.
The reasons my toddler cries,
are as multiple as flies:
sometimes his blocks don’t stack just right,
sometimes something won’t budge under all his might;
sometimes the song he picks is wrong,
sometimes the song is just too long,
sometimes the cat does not want to play,
and sometimes it’s just not his day;
socks too orange, cereal too wet,
food too seasoned, nap time too set,
all I know for sure, is by the end of the day he will have wept.
This one is brought to you by my morning and works best with toddler-aged children:
Write a poem about silly things that make your child cry. For example, my little one had a meltdown this morning, because I don’t have six fingers on one hand and the blocks didn’t stack the way he wanted.
Pick one thing or make a rhyming list, most importantly have fun with it!
