As our little ones prepare to return to school, we often picture them as eager learners, but let’s not forget that they can also be the greatest teachers. Over the years, I’ve come to realize that children view the world in a refreshingly unique way, and if we take a moment to see life from their perspective, we’ll uncover wisdom beyond our wildest dreams. Here are some invaluable insights my kids have shared with me:
- Reading your favorite book a hundred times is a joy, not a chore.
- On the first day of school, claim a middle seat on the bus—it’s the best spot!
- Recess? Hands down, that’s the highlight of the day.
- Don’t stress about crossing the street until you’re actually at the curb.
- Keep knocking until someone answers the door; persistence pays off!
- If you’re swinging the highest, it’s probably thanks to someone giving you a push.
- Always ask “why” until the answer truly makes sense.
- Waiting until you’re absolutely certain means the training wheels might never come off.
- Sometimes, looking at things upside down reveals a whole new perspective.
- Don’t sit down until the game is completely over; keep the energy up!
- The coolest dragonfly might show up while you’re busy searching for tadpoles.
- Sign your name as boldly as you can—big and proud!
- If you kick the ball to someone, they’re likely to kick it back; teamwork is key.
- Always take a peek behind the puppet theater; there’s more than meets the eye.
- Toads aren’t ugly—they’re just being themselves!
- There’s no one way to conquer the jungle gym; explore all the routes!
- It’s not really sharing if you’re only giving away the broken animal crackers.
- It’s easier to spot mistakes on someone else’s paper—funny how that works!
- You’re only little until a smaller kid comes along and steals the spotlight.
- If your flowers look different from everyone else’s, that’s what makes them special.
- Just because you’re donning cowboy boots doesn’t mean you can ride a horse—trust me!
- Respect others’ bubbles; they’re there for a reason.
- If you tiptoe to get measured this year, be prepared to tiptoe for life!
- Crying might bring attention, but it doesn’t guarantee friendships.
- Sometimes, you just need a Saturday in the middle of the week—go for it!
- Saving the best for last is harder than it seems; enjoy the moment!
