Children will teach us things that we weren't even aware of needing to know. If more adults actually listened closely to the children of the world we could possibly learn to live together in peace. The price we adults force them to pay is outrageously idiotic, bordering on criminal. Sadly, in the USA presand many other countries we have popular individuals, without a single moral fiber, molding our youth with lies, hatred and disrespect. Proving to open minds how money corrupts so easily. Children see and listen much more intently than we "busy" adults do. Hugsssss galore to your sweet pea.

"Teach your children well

Their father's hell did slowly go by

Feed them on your dreams

The one they pick's the one you'll know by."

That was absolutely beautiful Will. Your mind is certainly something to behold that's for sure. I have no doubt your precious daughter's is as well.

Sorry I'm running a little behind on your articles. I needed some mental health days myself. I look forward to catching up on everything this weekend. I'm very proud to be a paid subscriber to the Grumpy Combat Veteran. β€οΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’™

She's a marvel and a beautiful soul. Love the parallel of your lives and healing. We are all in need of healing for something and that is a strong bond. My sweet Alice, Momo loves her.

My grandson was recently diagnosed with ADHD and a neurodivergent condition I can't remember the name of, but seems related to descriptions for highly sensitive children. Fortunately, we live in Cincinnati, which has one of the best children's hospitals in the world. He and his family are getting the help they need to understand his unique gifts and challenges.

I experience him and all his delightful personality traits and quirks as a gift. There is nothing that brings more joy to me than spending time in his company, talking about obscure things he loves to learn about (flags of the world, Jabulani soccer balls). And when he has a meltdown over something anyone else would view as inconsequential, I stay calm and assure him that we'll figure out how to fix things together.

I love that you feel comfortable giving your daughter the freedom and support to be her own unique self.
