We visited the Banksy exhibition today, and this is the one that stayed with me.
Letting my children be exactly who they are has always been one of my deepest values - not something I've had to learn, but something I've held onto from the very beginning.
But this quote made me think of so many parents (and grandparents) I've watched over the years - good people, loving people - who somehow couldn't quite do it. Who steered, shaped, and pushed, convinced they knew better who their child should be.
The love was never in question. But sometimes love needs to get out of its own way.
To be seen. To be understood. To be loved exactly as you are. That's what every child deserves. And that is at the heart of what we do.
