Why Me Coloring Page
This Why Me Coloring Page provides an opportunity to talk to children about not always getting their own way all the time. As adults we often say be careful what you wish for because the results sometimes are not quite what we envision.
Eating a whole chocolate cake could make you sick.
Staying up late, could make you tired and you might be asleep when a friend came over to take you on an adventure.
And we adults sometimes forget that when we give our children everything there is nothing left for them to wish for and isn’t that a shame.
