Parenting through my lens

Dear Mom & Dad,

I know you want to give me all good things in life, but do ask me what makes me happy.

I know you make the best decisions for me, yet I will gain so much if you teach me how to take decisions.

I know you like to protect me, but it will be better if you prepare me to protect myself.

I know you don’t want me to fail. But can you teach me how to try new things? And if I fall, please hold my hand and say, “It’s okay!”

I know you want me to study hard. But can you also teach me to talk to people, be brave, and smile?

I know you don’t want to give me big responsibilities now. But can you teach me how to save money? Maybe in a piggy bank!

I know when you shout, you feel bad. Can you teach me how to listen and improve?

Dear Mom and Dad,
I know you have dreams for me. But can you help me find my own dream too?
I may not know my dream today. But with your love, I will find it one day.
I will always be your little one But I also want to be ME!
