My little one has been called "philosophical" by her teacher a number of times.
I found this very cute, but couldn't really identify with it. What was she on about?
However increasingly so, I have heard some very lovely phrases from my little 6 year old, which gave me an understanding into what her teacher was saying.
Example one:
She had to learn a poem for school. It was about 12 lines long, so not so easy.
She practised and practised.
So much so, within a few hours, she had nailed it and had it word perfect.
After one of her recitals, she said:
"Mummy, if I like something, I am good at it, yet if I don't like something, I don't get good at it"
Yeah - dead right!
It's so true. And she has it all worked out. I am sure leading psychologists have spent millions researching and proving that, which she just worked out very simply.
The second lot of wise words, came whilst on a bike ride home from the supermarket.
Example two:
Her little legs were tired and she needed to rest.
She then began singing whilst she was peddalling.
She then said. " Mum, I have realised that if I sing whilst I pedal, the time goes much quicker and my legs hurt less"
Indeed it's true!
The beauty of distraction.
So there you have it, my little one is a born philosopher. Either that, or she just says what she feels.
Proud moments.
