Being a teacher, I’ve always believed I’m the one who teaches — in classrooms, through lessons, and with patience.
But motherhood taught me something deeper: sometimes, our children become our teachers. ๐
๐ธ 1. The Day I Realized She’s Teaching Me Too
One evening, after a long, tiring day, I was correcting copies while my daughter was drawing beside me.
I was rushing — she was calm.
I was chasing perfection — she was simply enjoying the colors.
And in that quiet moment, I realized… she’s teaching me what I often forget — to slow down and enjoy the little things. ๐ผ
๐ท 2. Lessons from My Little Teacher
Here’s what my daughter reminds me every day:
๐ Patience — not every moment needs correction; some just need love.
๐ Joy in small things — like stickers, doodles, or bedtime giggles.
☀️ Presence — to put down my phone and really listen.
๐ธ Forgiveness — how quickly a child forgets and moves on.
Children have this pure, gentle wisdom that no textbook can ever teach.
☕ 3. Balancing Both Worlds
As a teacher, I teach lessons.
As a mother, I learn them all over again — through love, laughter, and tiny tears.
When my students look up to me, I remember that I’m also looking up to someone much smaller — my daughter, my little teacher. ๐
To every teacher mom out there — look closely.
The most beautiful lessons might already be sitting next to you, coloring the world in her own way. ๐จ
