Hot take: your kids don’t learn how to exist and be a good person in public unless you take them out to experience life. Take them to the grocery store. Take them to church. Take them shopping with you. Take them to restaurants. Let them practice ordering, waiting, saying excuse me, using inside voices, walking on the correct side of the aisle, waiting their turn, sitting through meals, making mistakes, and learning from them. It might be inconvenient now, but you’re raising future adults… not just keeping tiny humans perfectly contained forever. — #raisingkids #parentingtips #toddlermom #motherhood #parenting — @Ray-Ban 🕶️
