Hey there, lovey. I know how much you love sharing your takes on topics like parenting and marriage. While writing my post, I thought about you and looked forward to reading your post.
It is true that at one point, parents were children. They were drilled and raised by their own parents. There is a very high chance that parents would want to apply the strategies that were used to raise them when they finally build their own families. However, it shouldn't always go that way and that is the mistake most parents make.
Parenting is very complex and difficult. As you mentioned, children are not dumb- their eyes and ears are sharp- they see, they watch, they learn and they evolve. As much as parents should protect their kids, they should also be allowed to do things on their own- make mistakes and learn from them.
Thanks for sharing, Friendy.❤️

The feeling is mutual, love. I also looked forward to reading what you have to say about this topic but I have been too busy to even leave a comment because I haven’t fully digested your post.
Children are really interesting beings. They act so innocent and naive that it makes parents think they are not learning but that’s totally wrong. They even learn way better than any adult can. They should be allowed to make decisions and from that decision, as a parent you can tell them the consequences of it and then advise them on a better way out.
It is only when that child refuses the parent’s advice that they will have to learn from their own mistakes and next time, they will listen to their parents.
Thanks for your beautiful input, love. ❤️
