This made me realize that life is hard for me because everyone around me is usually a toddler in an adult's body.

We've started phrasing things to our 6yr old such as "what would the tomorrow you think about that?". We were in the gift shop of a crap theme park a few days ago and I asked her this question about spending her pocket money on something I thought was insta-landfill, she thought for 10s and said "I'll keep my money for something I really want". Lovely moment as a dad.

One definition I heard was that maturity meant "knowing when and what is appropriate " simple and effective.

I have screwed up many times and died several times. I continue to learn and grow. Not self judgment just a self observation..keep flowing!

I had an extraordinary toddler. When presented with 1 cookie now or 2 cookies after dinner…..he opted for the latter. He devolved into a regular teen.

I think maturity is also largely about responsibility. Taking responsibility for your own emotions and actions vs blaming others and external things.

This just made me think about sex and relationships.. sex and intimacy used to be an incentive for people to mature into somebody ready for marriage.. it promoted maturity.. and now I’m thinking how there are so many immature unwise illogical toddler mindset impulsive weak-willed people who aren’t as motivated to keep growing any further in those aspects, because they don’t have any effective incentive to do so! They can already receive sex and intimacy as they are through premarital sex and intimate connections or experiences outside of marriage 🤯

there’s a different kind of stress on parents today.
In the past, parents would take part in allowing their children to grow up experiencing some rough scrapes.
Simple things like falling down and scraping your knee without making a huge deal of it. Hugs, caressing, cleaning the scrape,
and then off you go!
Today, children are coddled to remain in the reality of the hurt, fawned over longer than necessary.
If what you’re looking for is attention, and the only way you get it is when you outright crying that’s clearly going to ask for more of the same.

Give children plenty of hugs and loving, especially when they’re kind to others.
Hugs and Love and confidence building encouragement when injury happens,
and then allow life to move forward,
without holding it there.

[therealKeenanMoodley]

Simply put maturity is the nature and ability of one to truly understand the reality of their surroundings and focus on the best move
