Thinking about the world I grew up in makes me sad.
It doesn’t exist anymore.
Becoming a parent has a way of making you look at your own childhood differently.
Not because our parents did everything wrong, but because the world our children are growing up in is different from the one we grew up in.
We can honor what was good, question what wasn’t, and choose to do things differently when we know better.
We don’t have to repeat every tradition, reaction, or parenting style simply because it’s what we experienced.
We get to take the good, break the cycles, and create something new.
Our children don’t need the childhood we had.
They need the childhood they need now. 🫶🏻
