slow down.

Standard

“let your children see you slow down.

read a book, walk in the woods,

sip coffee in the early hours of the morning.

because when they grow up,

they’ll know how to slow down, too.”

-angela anaghost-repke

go slow reminder sign

with the world spinning by

and the kinders

always moving so fast

(with frequent collateral damage)

we decided

to try slowing things down a bit

so

they painted signs as reminders

practiced spelling and saying it

posted them around the room

first day –

one hit his head

because he

‘decided to jump backwards’

one fell down

while stretching and balancing

on a shaky stool

one banged something

when skipping down the hall.

we’re still working out the details.

wisely, and slow. they stumble that run fast.
