From the first “Mama, may I…?” to the bold “Why must I?”, children move through powerful stages of growth. Each stage teaches them independence—and teaches us, as parents, how to adapt with wisdom and love.

Read my latest blog “The Three Stages of Asking: May I, Can I, Why Must I?” to dive deeper into these transitions and what they mean for your parent-child bond.

“What we’ve outgrown doesn’t need to be what they skip.”
I loved nail art when I was younger. I enjoyed it fully, and then I outgrew it.
Now I have all the reasons not to do it—chemicals, chipping, health concerns.
But here’s the thing: those reasons are mine.
My daughter deserves her own cycle of choice. To try, to enjoy, to outgrow—or not.
Their choices aren’t tickets we hold. They’re theirs.

✨ What did you once love that you’ve now outgrown?

“If we have to chase love, it isn’t love. Love meets us halfway.” – Jeff Brown

In our fast-paced world, we sometimes mistake intensity for intimacy. We run after relationships, hoping that effort alone will make them real. But Jeff Brown’s words remind us of a deeper truth: authentic love is not a chase.

When love is genuine, it is reciprocal. It meets us with the same presence, care, and energy we give. Real love feels safe. It respects boundaries. It allows us to grow rather than shrink. And it always stands on a foundation of mutuality.

Whether in personal relationships or in how we lead, coach, and support others, the lesson is the same: what is meant for us will meet us halfway. We don’t need to beg, convince, or exhaust ourselves. True connection is a meeting of equals.

What does “being met halfway” mean to you — in love, in work, or in life?

We keep dismissing “The Emotion” right at the gateway.
The question is;
If I am angry, why am I angry?
If I am sad, why am I sad?

It is here for a reason and keeps coming back in different shapes, sizes and colours because it has not yet got the acknowledgement it desires from me. It is personal to me. It is mine. It needs MY attention.

Therefore, I have to invest that kind of time knowing it, understanding it. It is here for a reason. It has a purpose, and realizing it will set me free.

I can develop the skills needed to do this. If I have the will and want to understand my anger or my sadness, or any such emotion, I can do it…by spending time with it like a friend, showing it a lot of love.

You got you! Be there for yourself.

There is nothing called an extraordinary child, there's just an extraordinary childhood.
As parents, we should make a conscious effort to provide an environment that will stay in our kids' memories as extraordinary!
