🧒 What Do You Want Your Kids to Be?
Doctor? Engineer? Artist? Leader?
Happy? Confident? Kind?
We all dream of bright futures for our children. But somewhere along the way, a quiet truth gets lost:
👉 It’s not about what we want them to be.
It’s about who they already are.
Children Aren’t Projects
- They’re not blank slates.
- They’re not extensions of us.
- They’re not vessels to fill with ambition.
They come into the world with their own spark —
Your job isn’t to shape it, but to protect it.
Support, Not Script
Help them:
- 🧠 Explore their curiosity
- 💛 Embrace their emotions
- 🗣️ Develop their voice
- 💪 Fail, fall, and get back up
The goal is not to direct their journey — It’s to walk beside them, noticing who they’re becoming.
Final Thought
So ask yourself:
Do I want my child to meet my expectations —
or do I want them to meet themselves fully?
Because the most powerful thing you can do as a parent
is not to create your child’s identity…
…but to help them discover it.
With patience. With presence. With love
