I am not a teacher or aunt or have regular interactions with children, but I often recognize how being around children can lift my spirits. I’ll wonder what it is about being in a child’s company, and I’ll ask myself what similar qualities can I deliberately inject in my own life. Spontaneity, not being self-conscious, openness, curiosity, naturally involving my whole body in any activity…. Think of three qualities that you admire in children and why you are grateful for their effect on you.
