May you never be the reason why your daughter, who loves wearing colorful and sparkly outfits with dreams of being in fashion, now wears plain clothes.
Or why your son, who loves dancing and singing, never takes the stage by storm again.
Or why your daughter who always spoke so excitedly about her dreams, is now silent and on a path that makes more sense for a career.
Or why your son who loves soccer quits to focus on something more practical.
There is no need to kill your children’s dreams before they have even had a chance to form fully.
A few discouraging words are all it takes to sway your kids away from something that gives them joy.
So, let them dream and be who they are.
Build them up. Support them.
Encourage them. Guide them.
And help them when they need.
Never dim your child’s light.
Your job as their parent
is to make them shine brighter.
