I just wanted to stop by and give a shout-out to all my middle-child(ren) peeps out there 😊
Today is OUR day!! click ↠ National Middle Child Day ↞
There are many attributes or roles assigned to a middle child (or middle children).
One I like to emphasize is independence - At least that was my unique characteristic 😏
We're pretty good at figuring things out. We're not burdened with responsibility like the ulumatua or eldest and not babied like the ui'i or youngest.
By the time we've entered the world, our parents are no longer new-hovering parents and they've already learned to just let us explore and discover the world on our own.
Hence, our independent streak 💃
Of course, I love you - no matter which order you are 😉
but today - give a middle child a big hug 🤗 and kiss 😘 and let them know how special they are.
I have here some old worksheets but still great reminders for the kiddos - terms for family members and where they fall on the family tree 🌳
Malo,
😗
