Sometimes Kids Fix Things We Don’t Even Know Are Broken

Hello 👋 @everyone greetings from @theindicators. Today's wants to share some little thought 💭 🤔 with all belove hivers.
This is something I noticed slowly, not in one day.
Kids don’t try to be impressive. They don’t plan their words. They just exist. And somehow, that simplicity fixes things around them.
I’ve seen a child get angry, cry openly, then laugh again after five minutes like nothing happened. No ego. No holding grudges. As adults, we collect emotions and store them carefully, until they become heavy. Kids drop them and move on.
Another thing is curiosity. Children ask questions that don’t make sense to us, but maybe they make perfect sense to life. “Why is the sky like this?” “Why do people stop smiling?” We ignore these questions, but maybe those questions are warnings.
As parents, we often focus on discipline, rules, routines. All important, yes. But sometimes children are not asking for correction. They’re asking to be understood.
I don’t think parenting is only about teaching children how to live in this world.
Sometimes it feels like children come to remind us how we forgot to live in it.
Still learning.
Still observing.
