Wisdom of a child

The greatest conversation I had today was with a 4 year old. She mentioned that she wants to be a monster doctor and heal all the monsters. When I asked her about the monsters, she grew excited and proceeded to tell me more about them and how some of them are angels, some of them are stuck and some of them are her friends and playmates. I validated her and spoke about the monsters and said hello to them.
As parent, do you listen to your child? They see more than most adults and they know things. Even though, children have small bodies (sometimes we tend to think, that they don't know anything because they don't have the experience), they have big spirits. As a spirit, a child has tremendous amount of information, experiences and intelligence.
Slow down, listen to your child. You might learn something.
