Lovely post!

And I agree about adopting that kind of attitude and approach to life.
I sometimes wonder though, about imagining that children go through their days open to all the new experiences that they encounter. I work with young children everyday and it’s noticeable how many of them are afraid of a lot of new experiences and need lots of encouragement and reassurance before they can ‘step into them’. The view of childhood as a carefree time is one I often come across. I sometimes think adults tend to look back on childhood through rose coloured, idealising glasses. So while we’re busy becoming open, non-judgmental and feeling the fear and doing it anyway, perhaps we should be ensuring our children get to see how it is done.

Warm wishes
