My son has quite an expressive personality. I captured this sneak moment of him in front of the Zeitz Mocaa Museum late last year.
You can just see the complexity of the pensive thought of a 7-year-old mind. My bet is that he was busy planning his next mischief.
I often wonder if we as parents are really relatable to our kids? How can we possibly know what they have going on in their minds? They are growing up in a world so different from ours!
It is our job to protect their minds, but it is not our job to control their minds! This is how so much negative programming happens as a child.
May we find ways to cultivate a good, fertile space for their minds to bloom and evolve!
