I dropped off our 7 year-old and 5 year-old at their first day of in-person school this morning.

Boy, do I have mixed emotions today!

I got a little teary-eyed seeing our little girl standing there in line with her big backpack and mask on, watching me walk away with big eyes. It's her first day of school ever, and I know she will love it and have a great day.

Our son was a pro - went right to his spot and was ready; hardly looked back.

I left them both in the capable care of their teachers and went back home, and had some other feelings. "Oh! The house is so quiet! I can eat breakfast and only feed myself! I can sit down and get things done without interruption! I have all day!"

What freedom, relaxation and peace! And we get to do it again tomorrow!

I have a whole new appreciation for our public schools and the vital role they play in our mental health, not to mention childhood development and learning.

Transitions and change are hard.

Our 5 year-old is having a particularly tough time lately. She's going back to in-person schooling next week, and she's been having tantrums and tears daily.

It's frustrating, but I recognize how she's feeling.

The world is changing around her and she has little say in the matter. She can't control much in her world, so she tries to seize control of what she can.

If that means saying "No!" to getting dressed to go outside, or yelling about how I washed her in the bath, at least she gets to make her voice heard.

I recognize myself in her small efforts to flex her little muscles where she can. Covid is a massive force having its influence on all of us, whether we like it or not.

Our daily lives were rudely disrupted around March of last year, and our sphere of control narrowed suddenly to the four walls of our homes.

I definitely find myself more annoyed and frustrated at small changes or breakdowns in my plans.

I wish I could say that I'm an enlightened adult who would never have a tantrum when things don't go my way, but... well at least I can say I don't fall on the floor and yell my head off.

My tantrums don't look like our daughter's do, but they are no less real. I get tense and snippy, walk out of a room abruptly, or put in headphones to try and block out the world.

We all need to feel some sense of control and agency at all times, and especially during a pandemic.

In my more healthy moments I find that sense of power in doing things to take care of myself: exercise, meditation, a walk in nature, or connecting with friends and family.

How do you exercise control when you're feeling powerless?

Do you make choices that advance your goals, and create the future you want?

Let's make our own opportunities.
