One of the things I’ve always tried to do is to encourage my children to express their feelings openly and without shame.
I really don’t like if anyone ever tells them to smile (and correct ANYONE who does so immediately) as I also HATE being told that ever by anyone. I tell them to smile when they feel like smiling and that just because someone is not smiling doesn’t mean they aren’t happy as people have all different types of personalities and ways of expressing themselves.
Here is where that parenting belief meets my addiction for novelty T-Shirts & comedy.
