Things Are Not Always What They Seem

One thing we have learned over the years is that things are not always what they seem. Your mind can be like a courtroom when you see something, and make instant verdicts. This can be a good thing because there are times when you have to make snap decisions. For example, if you see a child in danger, you have to take immediate action. However, there are other times, it's important to look at what is really going on. Here's another example. A child who typically behaves appropriately comes into the classroom and behaves in a totally inappropriate way. Later that day, you find out that the parents are getting a divorce. That is a child that needs lots of loving so it’s important to not rush to make a judgment in the courtroom of your mind, and to remember that things aren't always what they seem.
