True parents do not see to it that their children grow in a particular way, according to a preferred pattern or scripted stages, but they see to it that they grow with their children.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I personally don't believe people really grow. They just learn stuff when they were a kid, and hold on to it, and that affects every relationship they have.
It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself.
Young people can change and grow. Every parent knows that.
Thousands of years of human history have shown that the ideal setting for children to grow up is with a mother and a father committed to one another, living together, and sharing the responsibility of raising their children.
When you become a parent, you look at your parents differently. You look at being a child differently. It's an awakening, a revelation that you have.
From a personal standpoint, I'd say that, yeah, seeing how quickly children grow, you realize how fast life goes by.
All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood.
I think that being a conscious parent opens your eyes to the fact that any adult relationships that you have, whenever children are present on a daily basis, that they're modeling how they get along with people by what they see how you get along.
I believe that maturity is not an outgrowing, but a growing up: that an adult is not a dead child, but a child who survived.
There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.
