Day 491 - Our children are our mirrors - https://golifelog.com/posts/our-children-are-our-mirrors-1651801824534
The best lessons in life, I learned from hanging out with a 2-year old.
I always thought children teach us adults more than we can ever teach them. Even as a parent, sometimes my role is reversed. The teacher becomes the student, and the student turns into a teacher.
So very often, I found that the very things we say to them, we should really also be telling ourselves. Like:
“Are you hungry?”
“Drink more water.”
“Eat your greens.”
“This is good for you.”
“Don’t eat the whole bag"
“Good morning.”
“Good night.”
“I love you.”
Our children are our mirrors.
We didn’t birth them to show them the world, they came to us to show us our world.
