Children are a mirror image of you!

It's funny that as children we want to be grown ups because we think that grown ups know everything and when we grow up we actually start thinking that we do know everything. But that learning never stops. Someone once said that "I have never met a person from whom I've not learnt anything". How true! A few days back I was sitting with my almost 3 year old daughter and I realized that there's so much I've learnt from her in the past 3 years. Children are like a mirror you keep in front of yourself and they will show you what you are. From her I have learnt things about myself which I would have never believed if someone told me. Having an unhealthy pregnancy and raising up a toddler in that state can make you loose patience. At times I loose my patience with her and at this particular instance I found myself shouting at her when she was not listening to me. A few minutes later she reciprocrated and shouted at me when I did something she didn't like. That very moment felt like she put a mirror in front of my eyes and showed me my face. From that day I've been trying to have patience and tell her things in a more pleasant way. Like this there are numerous times when I forget what I teach her and do things otherwise and she stands right in front of me reminding me of my own teachings. I want my daughter to evolve into a beautiful person, but I am sure that in the process she will help take some vices away from me too!!
