We bring these preconceived notions to everything - after all, we've been on this planet so much longer than our children, have we not? Don't we know more? Aren't our opinions in some ways *more* valid? Well, no. Not really. I think remembering the path is so important. I'm not certain that most parents do it all the time and I'm sure I do it very imperfectly. But when I take the time to remember that this is their first time on this planet, their first time with all of this information and stuff and also, almost more importantly, that their world is very different than the one that I walked that path in, then there's usually this ah-ha moment where I see their experience for what it is and in some tiny way (as much as I am able), quit judging it. Only then can we have a real conversation, you know?anna kisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14004735915443652720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500704124250465892.post-3848753543220156682010-11-01T08:36:05.839-06:002010-11-01T08:36:05.839-06:00Beautiful post.Beautiful post.notonelesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571317432677518378noreply@blogger.com
