Authenticity runs deep in kids that's for sure. There are no games or trying to figure people out. They wear their hearts (and emotions) on their sleeves and do what feels good in the moment. It's lovely to watch! :) @ Ann-Marie – I’m glad you liked it. Authenticity runs deep in kids that’s for sure. There are no games or trying to figure people out.

I love how kids always follow their hearts. They are so authentic in whatever they do, never worrying about what other people think of them; it's not even on their radar. Freedom in action is so wonderful to witness. Great post Sherri.

Like Stephen says they'll have plenty of time to conform later so for now let them be kids :) @Stephen - That's great! I love your advice and I would be thrilled too if our boys decided they didn't want to color inside the lines...who says? ;) @zeenat - Your daughter sounds like a very friendly little soul I think her and my son would hit it off really well :) We can learn so much from our kids! @Beth - Welcome! I think having kids is the closest I'll get to actually becoming a kid again. My boys have been awesome for teaching me to look at things I take for granted sometimes in a completely new way, with such awe and wonderment. Thank you for your comment :) @Karen - You're right if it doesn't *really* matter and they won't harm themselves or others then let it be. Very freeing! @Jay – Thanks Jay I’m glad you liked it!

Who doesn't want to be a kid again? I love how they love life unconditionally - without pretenses and without reservations. Very insightful post, Sherri, thanks for sharing that.

Sometimes i think she will just befriend the whole world like this...and then..whats wrong with that?? And she is only two and a half! The other very cute thing she does is shake hands with everyone. she just has to...if i ever tell her not to she will throw a tantrum..its like a compulsion for her. All little tots are nonconformist that way isn't it! Amazing! We so called smarter and wiser hooligans could learn from them:) .-= Zeenat {Positive Provocations}´s last blog ..<a href="http://zeenatsyal.wordpress.com/2009/08/09/inspirational-quote-of-the-week/" rel="nofollow">Inspirational Quote Of the Week</a> =-.

School and the rest of society will do it for you. It doesn't matter and of course a well rounded person is one who doesn't do anything exceptionally. Let them be kids when they are kids. There will be plenty of time for them to conform when they have to later. I've never conformed much so I guess I'm a little biased. I'll never forget my daughter's kindergarten teacher complaining to me about how my daughter wouldn't color inside the lines. I was thrilled! :-) .-= Stephen - Rat Race Trap´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheRatRaceTrap/~3/RnOjFlrq2Oc/paying-the-price-to-get-out.html" rel="nofollow">Paying the Price to Get Out</a> =-.
