The Path

The Path

Summer is going so fast. It has been a great one. One that I won’t forget.

My daughter has gone from crawling and riding in the stroller to walking with us. Probably one of the must fun things to watch is how she is learning to play.

She is no longer just batting and grabing at things but it is talking, dancing and figuring out how things work. Riding and watching is no longer good enough. She wants to walk with us. She grabs our hands and puts them on toys to say play with it.

It reminds me of something I heard about leadership. Real leadership reproduces leadership and not just followers. The relationship starts at being a leader with followers but becomes a leader walking with leaders along the journey.

The followers (under successful leadership) become leaders and rather than just following the leader that walk with the leader.

Our little girl has stumbled and fallen many times. She has watched us and even other children walk. Now she herself can walk.

I hope we as parents can just as successfully teach her everything else she needs to know!
