When Adam was diagnosed Omar and I were at a loss

When Adam was diagnosed Omar and I were at a loss for the right parenting skills to use. Seriously how can you discipline a two year old when he just got two different types of chemotherapy and a spinal tap? How can we possibly know what he is feeling and going through. He is also two so his vocabulary isn’t allowing him to fully express everything that he is feeling. So how can we possibly know if he is in pain, or trying to get attention like a regular two year old?

We were truly at a loss for what to do what not to do with Adam. After speaking with the child psychologist she explained that Adam is looking for things he can control. So allowing him to have options even small ones will let him feel slightly in control.

So we give him the ability to pick his pajamas, pick his snacks, or dinner little things like that. She also taught us little techniques to make him feel more in control. So when he was feeling scared or overwhelmed we do big belly breathing. Omar and I both tell him daily little affirmations so he won’t ever forget. “Adam is strong. Adam is brave. Mommy and daddy love Adam more than anything in the world.” Little things that bring him comfort in moments where he may need it. All little things just to help make him feel more in control, kinda like an Adam tool kit.

Why in the world is Morgan rambling on you ask? Well this is the background you need to understand the last and final collection of candles from the Family Candle Shop. This was my (and my moms) baby before I had my babies. This is our 9th year doing candles! However, this new season of life that we find ourselves in doesn’t allow for the time that my little shop needs from me.

Yes, the Family Candle Shop will be closing its doors metaphorically speaking of course because, I pour them in my kitchen and our kitchen is NEVER closed. Just ask Adam when he wants Mac and cheese at 3am (thanks steroids). But, in all seriousness I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for ALWAYS supporting me and this small business. I truly appreciate each and everyone of you. It has been a great ride! ❤️🧡
