I think we may have it backwards, we tell our kids to try to act like an adult, I think we should be telling adults to act more like kids.
My two year old grandson is such a joy, he wakes up every day and runs out of his room with a huge smile on his face and cannot wait to start the day, all he wants to do that day is have fun. When he hugs you and gives a little pat on your back there is nothing better, he has no hidden agenda , all he has is unconditional love.
The adult world on the other hand is fraught with hidden agendas and people yelling and choosing sides. I was on a conference call yesterday with five “ adults” and we were to discuss some issues and one adult male joined the call with an already obvious attitude, he did not want to participate or he thought why am I even on this call with who he presumed to be knuckheads. The call lasted all of three minutes before he started barking out his demands, the top guy on the call got his back up and yelled back then hung up... conference call over... nothing accomplished but feelings that will spill over that will just continue to build walls.
Hmmmm.. should I ask the child to be more adult like or the adult to be more child like ?
Relax people, channel your inner child !
Try to approach each day with a reckless abandon to just learn and love and enjoy the day.
Unfortunately most adults wait till the end of there life to understand that each day is a gift and that big problem you thought you had was really nothing at all... don’t wait.
Embrace the day and be a kid !
