It’s not mean to give children rules and set boundaries. It’s not mean to enforce those rules and ensure the boundaries aren’t crossed. What’s mean is expecting children, who lack knowledge, experience, and wisdom, to successfully navigate the world without the firm guidance and clear instruction of the adults who are supposed to love, care for, and teach them.View quoted post on X
As adults we hold parts of ourselves back.View quoted post on X
Children don’t.
They don’t wonder if they’re too much. They don’t ask if it’s the right moment.
If they love you, they show it. Fully and immediately.
They throw their arms around you like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
They laugh so hard they fall over.
They cry hard.
They forgive fast.
They are over it before you are.
They fall asleep mid-sentence because they spent everything they had that day.
There’s something special about living next to that kind of openness, you soon see that there is so much we teach our children but there is so much more they teach us.
