filling up the child ...

I was listening to this woman on the radio speak about children and some things she said made me say Amen aloud because it spoke of me yet I am no longer a child but still need this!

paraphrase:
'If your child is an artist, she will need praise.'
'If your child is sitting in front of the tv, you are wasting his talent and talent is what makes him happy.'
'If your child is sensitive, -something about giving time and order
'If your child is melancholy, -something about allowing creative depth

I should have made some notes because it really moved and now I can't remember fully the last two points. I was sitting there seeing me now in need of what a child needs and I am an adult. It is just the place I am in. I am probably hitting my midlife crises or maybe just feeling neglected or maybe it is the stress buildup. It is time for me the 'parent' to allow the 'child' to be successful in my life.
