My gram said to me recently “I’m proud of you.”

And I said.. “why?” 👀

She responded: “Because you let your kids be exactly who they are. They dress how they want. Their hair is however they want. I never did that, my kids had to be perfect. I regret that.”

I was kind of shook because 1. How often do you really hear “I’m proud of you” in regular conversation? And 2. Because I didn’t realize I was doing anything special.

There was a point in my early parenting days that I realized that my kids were born exactly as they are to be. It was not my job to change who they were, but teach them to enhance who they are.

That changed the game for me. It made parenting so much less stressful; because I wasn’t looking to make my “loud kid” quiet, or my “expressive kid” less intense.

In a world where society often wants us to “lessen” our kids, I choose to make them MORE.
