One of the hardest parts about being a kid is living so deeply in the present, without the benefit of much fore- or hindsight. Especially when the present is one that hurts.

You’re just a sad kid who needs hugs.

(And not to ride your bike in the rain.)

Hugs, though!

Kids never think about the future, only about how angry or hurt they are now. So your kid’s actions are understandable.

But my therapist used to say we use guilt as a substitute for having to make a change in our behavior — at least it’s something.

So I hope you feel better soon.
