I cannot fathom anything more joyful than to experience the existence you share with your children @quinneaker. I have the privilege everyday to be a part of the true ecstatic enjoyment and zest for life that is created through your relationships with each other. Treating them as capable and responsible, does indeed breed capable and responsible beings.

Parents often complain that children don't come with an instruction manual. The truth is that you make it so simple, so rewarding, so enjoyable, mutually beneficial, and so so so full of love. Your style of parenting and the example you set for true unconditional love is already being seen...and I'm excited to see you share it here on Steemit. I hope your posts turn into that easily accessible instruction book. Your children are a testament to your true insight. OH MY GOSH!!!! I can only imagine what the next generation would be like if parents invested in and cultivated relationships with their children as you have. Not only are your children capable in the physical form way way way beyond their years, but they are truly exquisite human beings, genuine, honest, responsible, and the greatest joy to be around. They are truly the best playmates anyone could ask for....so ALIVE. Yes, there is hope!!!

QiQi is definitely a being worth celebrating. She is already a powerful leader--the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!!! I love that you are changing lives together in profound ways. Thank you for this post Quinn. Parenting is one of your super natural skills--it is obvious by the depths of love children feel from you and how your connect with them--even when they are not your own.
