I really enjoyed this post. In fact, this philosophy is behind not only the way I treat myself, but the way I parent my children. Treating them as human beings instead of little people "growing into adults" has proven to help me in more situations than I can count.
Hey, so glad you liked it! Yes, absolutely, whilst I don't have kids yet, this is absolutely the mantra I want to use too. And it is fantastic to hear that this has proven to help you on so many occasions.
