Not too long ago, I talked with a mischievous freckle-faced boy about some family changes he was going through. At one point I asked if he'd talked with his parents about how he was feeling. "Oh yes," he replied. "My dad is my advocate." Surprised to hear such a big word coming out of the mouth of such a little tyke, I asked, "Do you know what an advocate is?" Nodding his head vigorously, the child said, "Yeah, it means that my dad has my back and always will, no matter what happens." Wow! I was so impressed by the relationship that these two obviously have, and consequently, I felt like everything would be alright during the transitions in this little boy's life.
This is mostly a blog of everyday stories from my work as a primary school counselor. Some are funny, some are touching, but they all stand out as memorable moments. Sometimes I'll include photos, ideas that are working for me, and meaningful quotes. Enjoy!

Daddy's Got My Back
