Confident Sensitive Child
Nurturing Hearts: Raising a Confident, Wild Spirit
Lyrics
How do you raise a
Reflecting on the process of nurturing a child
Confident and sensitive child?
Seeking a balance between confidence and sensitivity in parenting
Why would you cage an
Questioning the idea of restricting a free-spirited being
Animal that wants to run wild?
Metaphorically addressing a desire for freedom
Why would you dam a river
Questioning the hindrance of natural flow and expression
Let the water flow through... how do you?
Pondering how to allow unrestrained growth and development
Now I'm holding your hand while
Physically present and supportive during a stroll to the park
We walk to the park
Engaging in a shared experience, possibly with a child
I bring the light of the moon
Symbolically providing light in moments of darkness
When your room goes dark
Offering comfort and reassurance during challenging times
And you're bending my mind into
Adapting to the emotions and experiences of the child
The shape of your heart how I love you
Expressing love by shaping one's thoughts and emotions
Oh how I love you
Reiterating deep affection for the child
When you feel embarrassment, I do too
Sharing in the child's moments of embarrassment
When you smile with excitement, it's mine too
Expressing joy in the child's moments of excitement
If you're shy in your sorrow, it's my sorrow
Acknowledging shared feelings during times of sorrow
This is how I love you
Defining the essence of love in connection and empathy
I do not live vicariously through you
Clarifying that the parent does not live through the child
You're the most creative thing I do
Acknowledging the child as a unique and creative individual
If your eye is on tomorrow, my eyes follow
Following the child's aspirations and dreams
This is how I love you
Reiterating the expression of love through attention and support
Oh how I love you this is how I love you
Reaffirming deep love and emphasizing the ways it is expressed
