All Children are Small People who will Change Some Day
A child has small hands, small feet and small ears, but that does not mean they have small ideas.
…
Children have little things, just like them:
a little bed, bright little books, a little umbrella, a little chair.
Yet they live in a very big world: so big that cities don’t exist, buses go up into space and stairs never end.
…
Children don’t always like going to school. Often children prefer to close their eyes and sniff the grass, to shout and chase pigeons, to listen to the faraway voice of shells, to wrinkle up their noses in front of the mirror.

…
I feel so guilty. Emo.
I feel guilty for
not understanding their world more lovingly,
not enjoying their childhood more joyfully,
and for expecting them to be more mature than who they really are at the moment.
…
To all parents:
Let’s slow down. Love, listen and cuddle more. Discipline patiently. Guide consistently.
Because ‘All children are small people who will change some day’.
