Why don’t they like me? No matter what I do, I don’t fit in.
This is something that breaks a mother’s heart; when your child doesn’t feel welcomed.

For kids, being accepted is important. And to a degree….essential.
Who doesn’t want to be liked, loved, accepted, and wanted?
EVERYONE!
But you know life isn’t always what we want.
Since our move, it’s been a little challenging. The boys have been trying to find their buddies. But to date, there are still no best buds.
They haven’t given up. However, I can tell it hurts them somewhat. They don’t talk about it much. When they do, you can tell how uneasy it makes them.
You never want your child to hurt or feel unwanted. Now understand that they do have friends, just not their buds.
We’ve had the talk that it will take some time. Finding people with the same interests, beliefs, and building that trust.
Let me ask you…How do you feel when your unwanted, or people turn away from you?
It’s a nightmare that’s replayed over and over. And it’s hard to shake too.
You can probably remember when you were unwanted by a group or a particular person.
Think about how Jesus felt. Unwanted. Unloved. He too was beaten up emotionally. Yet He still pursued His purpose.
Sometimes we have to remind our children that it takes time to pave their path.
The most important thing is not worrying about what others think.
Remember who you are!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Remember who you are!
Depending on the age of the child, you may have to play a big part in their memory.
Simple things like….
- Love who you are first.
- Love them where they’re at.
- Love. Love. Love.
Model who you want to hang out with.
Be the friend you want in your life.
Not everyone is going to like you. You are not always going to fit in. But it’s not about fitting in. It’s all about being YOU!
“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!”
