Most of us would protest that of course we love our children without any strings attached. But what counts is how things look from the perspective of the children!

I love the perspectives of children, they are so honest and genuine.  It looks like these kids are having fun at the aquarium!

Good morning Paul - sometimes we forget that it helps to see things through the eyes of a child.

Yes, I have realized from some discussions with my adult sons lately that they saw some things a lot differently than I did. It is important to take time to try to understand how they are seeing things.

Hello Paul - while the quote you share is definitely thought-provoking, it's the photo in this post that first caught my attention.  It captures a certain time (and spirit) that seems quite memorable.

We all could learn from this.  Have a wonderful Sunday. Rest up and be ready for a knock-out-of-the-park work week starting tomorrow.  bill

We might love our kids unreservedly, Paul... but the reality is that parents through their love and concern put expectations on their kids that could indeed be considered as "strings attached" by their kids.

Paul,

I love the lighting of the photo, and imagine a parent NOT thinking they know better.  Most do.  Happy Sunday!  A

Hi Paul and happy Sunday- we need to be aware of our children's perspective. In fact, the same could apply in relationships with most anyone...figuring out how they see it.
