At church a friend of mine asked if I planned to do the same thing I did for the junior primary that I did for the senior. I was confused and sort of fumbled with my answer not knowing what she wanted. She had not looked at me or said anything else to me, not even a "hi" or smile, so I felt a little reprimanded. While she did this, I felt like I was one of her kids.
As I sat through sacrament meeting, still a little stung, I realized the flaw parents can make, including me. If the only attention a child gets is being put in an awkward spot, then that isn't a good relationship. A greeting should be said, a hug or smile of reassurance should be given. Something that says that person is important.
I learned I want to make sure I do those simple greetings to my family-husband and kids-because I love them and they're special to me.
