We’re so quick to celebrate the finished product that we sometimes forget what it took to get there. The crooked button. The spilled water. The shoe on the wrong foot. The ten minutes it takes to complete something we could’ve done in ten seconds.
But childhood isn’t supposed to be efficient. Those extra minutes are full of concentration, coordination, problem-solving, persistence, and the quiet satisfaction of realizing, I figured it out.
Sometimes the hardest part of helping a child grow is having the patience to let growth take a little longer. 💛
