The Way of a Child
AN OBSERVATION TO CARRY WITH YOU
THE WAY OF A CHILDNO. 06

When nothing needs adding.

Sometimes one explanation is enough.

THIS WEEK, JUST NOTICE

After you've explained something to your child, notice the urge to say it once more. Do they need it?

Nothing to complete. Just something to carry.
A LITTLE FURTHER

You're helping your child with something. They've understood what you mean, but you keep explaining. One more reminder. One more example. One more piece of advice.

Sometimes our minds keep talking because we want to be sure we've done enough.

Of course there are times to explain more, guide carefully or hold a boundary. But there are also moments when we've already said what needs saying.

Notice when your words are helping and when you're simply adding more.

Could this be a moment when you've said enough?

There is nothing else you need to do with this.
One observation. A whole week to notice.
