[Parenting] Have you ever thought your child was "amazing"? A child's abilities might be the power that adults have lost

“Children are immature, and it is up to adults to teach them.”
Has that idea become ingrained in us before we even realized it?

But I truly respect children✨.
Because their words and actions sometimes gently melt away the rigid common sense
that we adults have hardened.

1. Unadorned "honesty" is the strongest power

Adults tend to try to look cool or worry about what others think, don't they?
But children are different.

When they feel something is "delicious!", they tell you with a beaming smile💕.
If they think something is "boring," they immediately find a different game to play.

Can we be that honest with our own feelings?
That straightforward heart has the power to instantly brighten the atmosphere
and make everyone smile.
The "honesty" they possess is, I believe,
the strongest magic for connecting with anyone😊.

2. The sparkling power of believing "I can be anything!"

“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
Children answer this question with sparkling eyes✨.

“A florist!” “A soccer player!” “An astronaut!”

They don't know how to doubt their own potential.
Giving up by saying "it's impossible anyway" or
the assumption that "I have no talent" does not exist in their hearts.

When did we adults start capping our own potential with the word "reality"💦?
The power children have to believe in the future might be the most important treasure
that we adults have forgotten somewhere along the way😄.

3. "Intuition" that takes you by surprise

“Which one do you think is better?”

When I was worried about something and happened to ask my child,
they sometimes gave me a surprisingly accurate answer.
They don't think in complicated ways like adults do,
nor do they calculate whether something is a gain or a loss💦.
They simply choose the one their heart is drawn to: "This one!"😊

That straightforward intuition
sometimes leaps over the logic we adults have thought up,
showing us the best path.

Instead of thinking of children as "beings that only need protecting,"
why not gently listen to their abilities as wonderful individuals?
The things they can teach us are, more than we realize,
surely numerous.
"Children are immature, and it is up to adults to teach and guide them."
Before we knew it, haven't we adults started thinking that way?

But is that really the case?
I truly respect children from the bottom of my heart💕
Because their words and actions
sometimes easily transcend the rigid common sense of us adults.
