Toddlers are People Too |

The other day I was out in a crowded area of a mall, and watched a young mother angerally addressing her little guy for bumping into people as she tried to maneuvre through the crowd. I felt so sorry for the little guy and wished "mom" would have stopped
to take a minute to see life through his little eyes.
All a toddler sees in a crowd is the back of peoples knees and tushes. What a view. No wonder little ones get fidgety when mom or dad is stopped to look at something or is trying to walk through a crowd. Imagine if all you ever saw was his/her viewpoint. Plus adults seem to forget that for every one step we take, the little ones are taking 3 or 4 to keep up.
My advice to anyone with toddlers. Take the time, at home sometime, get down on your knees and view the world through your little ones eyes. It will truely give you a new prospective on things, hey its also a good way to notice the unseen dangers lurking in your home that you would have never noticed if not for this little exercise.
Remember, the world is seen by everyone differently, especially the little folks.
