That’s what Parenting with a Smile was born for
to remind us that raising children is not about shaping them,

Interesting how often parenting is framed as shaping kids, when really it seems just as much about the parent’s own growth.
Children shine when they take the lead in play
Play builds confidence, sparks creativity, and gives them space to make choices.
But as parents, stepping back is not always easy.
Do we guide, do we join in, or do we let them show us the way?
When your child leads play, what do you notice most?
They come up with ideas I’d never imagine
They feel more confident and expressive
They want me to join fully in their world
I find it hard to step back
