I View my children as teachers. After all aren't we all trying to go back to the same child like state we were at prior to being taught how we "should" be?

My kids furthered my growth more than holding me back.

Not to mention they have learned so much from me by way of viewing who i am and not what i say. Because of that they reflect that same state to those close to them.

I may have never learned that "being" is a more effective teaching tool than "speaking" without them in my life.
