Embracing Whimsy and Letting Go

Being a dad is a serious job, but it's important to remember to embrace whimsy and not take everything so seriously. Children are clever, creative, and still full of wonder. By going with the flow and getting into the moment with our kids, we can encourage their exploration and imagination without constantly interrupting or imposing our own perspectives. It's exhausting for children to have to explain themselves repeatedly, so it's better to let go and understand that not everything needs to be serious or literal.
