Where possible, I try to sneak in a message about kindness and compassion to Xena.
The other day, we were waiting for the lift to get home after school. I had a splitting headache and she was insisting we take the stairs up.
"I'm not feeling very well, Xena. So let's take the lift today. We can take the stairs tomorrow. Or you go up the stairs and I'll take the lift and meet you upstairs."
"Nooooo... let's both take the stairs."
"That is not very kind, Xena. I'm not well, so you need to think about me too. Imagine if you were very sick and I said, 'Let's go climb a mountain right now.' Can I do that?
"No, Mama, you can't."
"That's right. Do you know why not?"
"Because there are no mountains here."
