To my future youngins

Every week at my job 

I am around

dancers and dance moms.

So far I've learned that there are

a few different types 

of moms that come to our table,

 or dads sometimes too, I guess.

I've noticed how much a child

can learn from the example

of their parents in a way

I had never noticed it before.

If a parent comes up to the table 

and is extremely negative 

than their children began to 

feed off of that energy and become 

quite negative as well.

If a parent comes to the table

and is just so optimistic

and positive their child

radiates that positivity.

From just interacting with the children

you can see how happy they are

and how they are affected by

their parents' interactions with things

and by their parents' examples.

You can tell if a parent

has more than one child

the older one has usually already

adapted to the example set for them

but for the little ones 

it is obvious that their is more hope

for optimism to be apart of their lives.

I know that I have yet to have children

and so I know nothing of how

difficult it is so I am reluctant to ever

criticize a parent.

I am grateful to be able

to learn things like this 

and have the opportunity to learn 

what I want to be

for my children.

And after this past weekend

I now know

that I want to be

positive.

the end.
