Bask in Your Orbit
As a parent it’s easy to fall into the mindset that we need to control the environment around our children to give them the best opportunities for success- protect them from the darkness our adult eyes see swirling around outside our home. But if there’s one thing motherhood showed me in no uncertain terms is how little we control. As I’ve observed children of all kinds, the more sure I am that our job as parents is actually to control as little as possible. Kids are marvelously helpful, compassionate and inquisitive. For many adults these traits were chipped away as the demands of modern life pressed in. If we can learn to sit back and bask in the wonder of what our littles are capable of, we realize that our intervention is usually for our own comfort, not their benefit. Our work is to sit with our ego and let them radiate.
