Everyone knows that every child is unique and that we need to relate to each child based on their uniqueness.
The two important questions are:
- How do you do that?
- How far are you as a parent willing to go?
I recently read an online newspaper article that brought the message home loud and clear to me. Perhaps you’ve already seen it. It’s a story about a piglet who was afraid of the mud and how her owners responded to her unique needs as a piglet.
I can’t resist sharing it here for several reasons:
- I grew up on a farm in Iowa where my father raised this adorable Hampshire pigs.
- It is just too cute not to pass on.
- It exemplifies my point about responding to your child’s unique needs perfectly.
Here is the article.
And here is a photo.
Be creative and have fun nurturing your child's unique personality!
