So, here is a thing that made me smile. I don’t know anything about this guy, and the text is six years old, but it’s not the kind of story where that matters.
(You need to read to the end, so make a cup of tea).
I’ve been writing about the personhood of children (and don’t people love that: some of my most delightful troll comments ever have come out of this) and so it seems like a good time to talk about how great it feels, as a parent, to be able to listen to your kid. I’m not so great at it, sometimes, but when it works — well, those are the nights I go to bed knowing I have loved and been loved well.
Thank you for finding and sharing this. It made me smile.
What a great story! Thank you so much for sharing that.
What a great story! Thank you for sharing!
Children = people? No – surely not! I’ve worked in education for most of my working life and so wish folks understood that simple fact. Children are people with all the same bits, bobs & emotions as the big children. My god, they do show big folks up so often too!
That is excellent! I have a 4 year old too and it is an amazing age.
Thank you for sharing.. I’m such a sook had a tear or two by the end!! I’m sure it’s since i’ve had my first child this year… So many things seem to make me emotional now!
