I’ll never be the kind of parent

 I’ll never be the kind of parent who brushes off my kids just because they’re little.

Their thoughts matter. Their feelings matter. Their voice matters.

Just because they’re still learning doesn’t mean they don’t have something important to say.

Some of the most powerful lessons I’ve ever learned have come from sitting still and truly listening to them.

They’ve reminded me how to be curious
How to feel big emotions
How to speak the truth without fear

So I will always make room for their voices
Even when it’s messy
Even when they’re still figuring it out
Even when it challenges me

Because they’re not just learning from me
I’m learning from them too.
