Morning all! Well last week’s Sandbox Writing Challenge turned out to be rather interesting with a few of us working on two parts! Either we HAVE a lot of magic in our lives, or we NEED a lot more!
This week is a serious one again. And very touching, I think. I will be curious to see what even I come up with for this one!
`
`
If you were to give this baby something you lacked early in life, what would it be?

As always, remember to include the link to this post on YOUR blog post. Or if your response isn’t overly long, feel free to leave it in the comment section below. And please feel free to interpret the prompt however you wish: memoirs, poems, pictures, etc.
If you would like to see the previous prompts, they’re listed in the menu at the top of the blog in The Sandbox Writing Challenge. But please feel free to just jump in wherever we are at the moment! After all, the prompts are really for YOU to get to know YOURSELF. (Posts from past prompts you wish to tackle will always be added to the current week’s challenge page.)
This may prove to be very thought provoking. So go snuggle up with this picture and see what it says to you.

Impromptu Promptlings 
There are many things I wished for my babies, but if I had to choose one above all of the others, it would be self-confidence. This feeling goes too deep for me to convert it into verse.

Ooo! Hadn’t thought of that one! That’s a good one!

My brother rang me this morning, with a tale that ended sadly because he doesn’t have the self-confidence which gives success in life, and I thought about that newborn baby…

Sure seems like if we don’t learn that early on, we flounder. But then there are folks like Bran. He was an A student all his life. Couldn’t fail at anything. Even through two degrees in college. Now he’s just a mess of insecurity. How does one help someone like that. We’ve tried everything to give him a boost.

I would give this baby Vit D so she would not get ricketts. And so that her mother could get a decent night’s sleep instead of having to soothe and nurse a pain-wracked baby who would only accept a mother’s touch ofr months on end.

Well that’s an interesting thought. Interesting to me because my body doesn’t make or take in nearly enough vitamin D. And when the docs found that out, I started taking supplements. It made a HUGE difference in my moods through the winter. I never would have thought about that in babies. Is that common?

It was back then in Finland. Winter is always worse – less sunlight. Vit D deficiency is common even here in Australia as we have been taught to sun protect too much !!

How interesting. I’m not out in the sun at all here, either. I’m so bloomin’ fair skinned that even ten minutes will cook me.

I would give the baby’s mother state-of-the-art treatment for post-partum depression so that she is able to care for the baby the way she really wants to. This wasn’t available in the 1960’s when my mother had PPD, and there are still a lot of misunderstandings and myths around the topic.

Terrific idea! I wouldn’t have thought of that, but it ranks right up there with premarital counseling. What a great comment, Karen.
