Calanit was screaming and crying for a good 15 minutes yesterday as I tried to get her out of synagogue.
I ignored her.
As I stoically walked my way through the foyer, I wondered...how much of our embarrassment in a given situation stems directly from how you perceive others think?
A lot, of course.
I removed my concern about others perception of the situation. Instead saying to myself, "those with kids know that kids throw tantrums and of those who don't, some know and some don't. It happens. Nothing to worry about."
Once I did that, the pressure was off and I felt much more at peace.
