Why Your Growth Matters for Them, Too

Do you ever find joy in watching someone you love grow and learn in life? Perhaps you just like watching people succeed in general, and I do too! Seeing people accomplish their goals and watching them grow their knowledge and understanding as they do so brings me so much joy and fulfillment. I know it brings them the same.

As a parent, watching your children grow up in front of your eyes is nothing short of miraculous. Life’s greatest gifts are having a family of your own and being able to witness your little blessings grow into toddlers, pre-teens, teenagers, and then adults. What a humbling experience that is and continues to be for all parents and guardians. One of my favorite memories so far as a mom has been watching my girls learn new skills, such as learning to roll over, learning to sit up, crawl, climb, walk, and talk. I don’t know if all moms and dads feel this way, but those have been the most precious moments to witness thus far.

What is So Great About Being Able to Raise Children?

I love being able to help guide the arms and legs when learning to crawl to help teach them the proper way, and then standing back and watching them do it by themselves makes me feel accomplished. It makes me feel like someone is patting me on the back, saying, “You helped do that! You showed them how to crawl, and now look at them. Good job, Mama.” These accomplishments are not just for our children, but for us as parents too.
