"There
are two things we should give our children: one is roots and the other is
wings." Hodding Carter
Sounds
so beautiful, doesn’t it? But what exactly does it mean? I found this beautiful interpretation
by Dr Laura Markham
that says as parents we must provide a strong foundation or anchor to our kids
so that they feel emotionally secure, and therefore feel confident enough to
spread their wings [be independent].
Now
‘independence’ in kids is often misconstrued.
