How smart are children when we allow them just to be themselves?

So Todd was giving the girls a bath the other day and Cadence was singing "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause". He told her that the song was old that he sang that when he was a little boy the next comment was so out of the blue Todd had no words to say to her.
Cadence; hands on her hips "I know before I was born?!"
Todd laughing "Yea before you were you were born"
Cadence "Yup because it takes God a long time to make special people."

Todd laughed and just agreed he had no other words, how many times do we get speechless over what our children say to us? Our children are so smart when we just allow them to be who they are, no one told Cadence how to respond to Todd, she was just allowed to express herself in conversation. Children are so often told, hush, I need quite, I need you to go play, I need, I need, I need, and not once I need to just talk to you about what you want to talk about. Children can help adults get out of the largest problems that adults think they are in. Why? Because children don't think up drama, they see everything easy until we adults tell them is hard. We tell Cadence math is easy and now this 6 year old can add 95+20 when her class is working on doubles, this is easy to Cadence because the people in her life tell her it is so she is able to see it as easy!

We allow our children to express and be themselves and because we do this they are very smart children, when we all adults start aspire to be their children? I aspire every day to be more and more like my girls. The world would have so much unconditional love not when everyone aspires to be their children but when I shift this world would have so much unconditional love just by me and more as more people follow but it starts with me. Like Michael Jackson song "Man in the Mirror". Cadence's favorite song!

I want my "Man in the Mirror" moment and I want my children to be so smart just being themselves, no need for changes anymore its about embracing.
