"Storms make trees take deeper roots."-Dolly Parton

Choices all have consequences.  That is how we learn.  Babies take small beginning steps and fall down.  But they eventually learn from each experience of falling down.  They learn what works and what doesn't.  They get stronger.  They experience success because they learn as they don't give up.  If as a parent we constantly caught them before they fell-the learning would not be the same.  They would walk later but the experience has not taught them about themselves or their abilities.  And they most certainly will not feel the same level of accomplishment.  A parent who is there constantly to catch their child before the fall does not love their child more.  In my opinion they just want to keep that child attached to them   Even mother birds need to let their babies leave the nest-but that is when they fly!  Growing roots after a storm will hurt.  The benefits outweigh the pain.  Fly! Peace.
