The Significance of Small Gestures

We often overlook the significance of small gestures of vulnerability and trust that our kids display. Just as humans shake hands with their right hands to indicate peace, our kids show vulnerability when they crawl into our beds or cry around us. These gestures are an honor and should be cherished.

"They say that the reason people have long shaken hands with their right hands was to signal that we came in peace and we’re not dangerous. They say that when dogs roll over and show you their belly, it’s an indication of trust and deliberate vulnerability... These might not feel like particularly meaningful gestures of respect and love, but they are. It’s an honor to get them, even though we regularly overlook the significance. The same is true with so many things that our kids do."
