For all the considerations of stages of development and maturity, it helps to remember that the small version of you was still altogether you. The child at your house is the small version of an adult, a parent, an old person.
A child is already a whole person.

Beautiful reminder. Thanks for these daily posts.
ReplyDeleteWhen my children were younger, and we saw someone with a baby, I would say, "Look! There's a tiny person!" and we would go and greet the baby (if awake) and the parent(s).
