Parenting Tips and Thoughts – A lesson on life from kids

From: Respectful Parents, Respectful Kids: 7 Keys to Turn Family Conflict Into Co-operation

In some ways our children are as much guides for our life as we are for theirs.

They are a reminder of how lively and engaging life can be.

For children, the world is a giant laboratory and they’re serious explorers of it.

Watch, experiment with them and learn from them because they can help you remember how to be deeply in love with life.

Children play and explore, laugh and wonder right out loud. They provide a constant invitation for us to join them. Accept their invitation and cross the line into their world.

Imagine how it must feel to walk through sand for the first time, to balance on two wheels and zoom through space, to pluck petals from a daisy and sense the flower slightly tugging back, to hear an airplane or the wind or a crow caw for the first time.

Their awe and appreciation of simple things in life can be yours. And they’re wiling and waiting to share it with us.
