I was gonna say, i don't have to imagine it, i lived that life you described. Becoming an adult was hard because making decisions was hard, what if I made the wrong decision? What would my mom do??! It was debilitating. I had to learn that mistakes will happen and it's really not the end of the world. You learn to live with it. And that's ok. Guess who's not dictating what's best for her own daughter? 😁
I'm an advocate for play-based living. Play has made all the difference in my life, but I find that 'the world' often feels too grown-up and serious to hold the matters of life lightly; to enjoy the process.
In the scope of history, I arrived on this planet but a blink of an eye before my child/students. I'm still in awe of the magic of it all. Who am I to enforce the social software of seriousness?
YES! I’ve learned this (with the help of my wife) and it’s completely changed my relationship with my kids (for the better).
