The biggest mistake that parents make, is believing that their assigned task in life is to teach their children and to guide them in every situation of their children's lives. The truth is that it is the task of parents to both learn from their children and to guide them as well. Parenting is a relationship that goes both ways, from the moment your child is born, you learn from that person, and in fact, your lessons begin long before your child's lessons do. Later on, when you've learned a great deal already, then they begin to learn from you. Throughout our lives, it is a give-and-take relationship, in many ways. Our assigned task is to learn from our children, and to guide and teach them. Their assigned task is to learn from us, and also to teach us. . C. Joybell C.
About This Quote

I know what you are thinking, "Why would I want to learn from them?" Maybe because you feel they are not doing their job. When your child is not listening to you or doing what you think it is right for them, then you have to speak up. Don't wait till it is too late, do anything to make sure that they are listening, because the last thing you want is for them to grow up and be an adult who doesn't listen to anyone.
