Children are the only ones that love us without judgment, celebrate our smallest victories and have their antennas up for our distress. Their uncanny attunement to their surroundings makes their emotional wealth seems prodigal. Their definition of daily success is already simplistic and filled with bursts of creativity. Let’s consider ourselves successful as parents if we are able to teach them to take time to imagine and become what they want to be. And to think of the possibility that what we do now with our children will make them a somebody, someday – and that it is up us, now, this minute, is a powerful thought.

Our most rewarding journeys as a parent happen in the most imperfect parenting moments. It’s foolish to think that the kids don’t notice our shortcomings, it’s just that they have accepted us with our imperfections.

Being present with them teaches us to be childlike with our thinking.

 

  1. That way we don’t rule anything out.
  2. Think really small, take baby steps, never answering anything big and don’t have to leave midway when things get overwhelming.
  3. We would go for the obvious rather than over-complicate every situation.
  4. Take into consideration things that other people might not think are reasonable.
  5. Have no preconceptions or biases.
  6. We would see ourselves for who we truly are, and not for what we aim our worth and success to be. 
  7. We would cry one minute and laugh out loud the next. 
  8. We would all engage in brainstorming, while no idea is a stupid one.
