Today’s authour is Dr Seuss. The Dr Seuss quote I have chosen is

[Tweet “A person is a person. No matter how small – Dr Seuss #AtoZChallenge”]

AtoZChallenge – Dr Seuss Quote
As a parent, this one hit me hard. How often do we think of our children as a responsibility, as a showcase of our amazing parenting skills or even as our most precious thing… do we forget that the children are persons too? I often tell my daughter how to dress, what accessories to carry, what classes to join, what books to read. This quote made me wonder that in small things like these, do we often forget that children have a preference of their own too? Perhaps we do. Why do we keep trying to tell them everything they need to do?

As a parent, won’t it be better if we just taught our kids how to weigh pros and cons, arrive at a decision and then live with the consequences? Even for those who are not parents, do you think of children as little persons who can think and feel for themselves or just beings that have to be told what to do every step of the way?

    I don’t know how I’m going to be as a parent. But right now, I feel … it’s always good to take our child’s opinion. We can guide them rather than directing them.

    This is worth pondering over. I think the most important thing is that parents shouldn’t talk down to their kids. It stunts their growth. Kids are a lot smarter than we think

    As a doc, one thing I do different from most is treat the kid as an adult. My job includes poking needles into their hands and many do get agitated. So I calm them down and explain clearly to them instead of forcing people to hold them still while I poke. Doesn’t work all the time but surprisingly, a large majority of kids are OK.

      As a parent I constantly struggle when to treat her like an adult and when to treat her like a kid… the amount of importance given to them in treating them like adults is amazing… I suppose that is what works for your patients as well!
