Who has the most
life experience,
wisdom
and ability?
Is it sensible for the most capable one to gently lead the least capable one?
For example,
Is it the adult or the toddler who best understands the importance of;
regular meals and a balanced diet for optimal physical development?
regular naps and sleep habits for optimal all-round health?
time outside each day to enjoy the benefits of fresh air and to develop gross-motor skills?
focused table activites to develop concentration, sitting and fine-motor skills?
independent play time each day to develop self-play adeptness?
daily reading of books to develop the love of literature?
quiet times for refreshing the spirit?
teaching heart virtues each day to develop an adult with strong character?
Lead kindly,
respectfully,
consistently,
gently
and lovingly.
