They're very near the brain they're on both sides of the face; not too far below, throbs the heart... these vital gifts were given to us, so we may hear...be able to grasp what's being said......especially, when our children are the ones talking, speaking about school, their fears...their dreams and goals...what interests them...we must encourage them... and even when they scare us...when we can't, don't understand their ways, because they don't agree with ours.....kindly pay attention, hear them out...their voices, their reasons, not just what we want to hear from them... we drive them away from us...by imposing our own choices on them....let us be their guides, their friends...give them space, to find themselves...mold their own identities...
why force our children to be Einsteins, when they're meant to be....Shakespeares?
