When we swoop in and fix things for our kids before they get to experience the consequences of their own less
than perfect moments (forgotten lunches, unsigned
permission slips, messy rooms with laundry that needs to be thrown down or risk missing laundry day, etc) we are actually doing our kids a disservice, keeping them from a potential lesson in self love and what it takes to «be with» imperfection and disappointments.
Today, more Americans
than ever must get a government
permission slip before they can earn an honest living, thanks to the spread of occupational licensing laws.
