RE: A Person's A Person, No Matter How Small! -- Children Should be Seen AND Heard!

in #parenting7 years ago

It's lovely to find you here. I have a 4 year old daughter, my ex-girlfriend and I were going to homeschool her but she has been going to school for a few months now, which I am fine with because I see her enjoying it. But I think what you're saying is so important, and it's a great reminder for me as a father to be the best I can be to her and treat her with respect.. Sometimes I can forget that I was little once and I felt ignored very often, and I can recognise a pressure now of this "adult"/"parent" culture around me to conform and belittle my child, the way I was belittled. When actually in my highest frame of mind I see my daughter for what she is, the most amazing ball of light that ever filled my sight! There's nothing small about her, children are so wise, and have so much to teach us because they still have a grip on all those beautiful feelings that we fight everyday to just to remember... If only we listened to them!!..

That is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
