Say it louder for those in the back!
We spend so much time trying to shape children into what adults expect…
quiet, compliant, convenient.
But the real work — the work that actually changes lives — is reshaping ourselves.
Learning how a child’s brain develops.
Understanding their nervous system.
Responding to their emotions instead of reacting to their behaviour.
Becoming the steady presence they’re wired to rely on.
Children aren’t here to rise to our expectations; they’re here to grow at their own pace, in an environment that sees their needs as legitimate, not inconvenient.
So the question isn’t,
“How do we make them fit?”
It’s,
“How do we evolve so they don’t have to shrink?”
Because when adults grow up…
children finally get to, too. ❤️
