The Revelation - Have You Been A Good Kid ? I Hope You Didn't

Great post.
It's about time we stop labeling kids and just embrace who they are so they stand a chance of achieving their full potential, unlike most of us, trying to find out who we truely are or living an unfulfilling life after losing that sense of self in our childhood.
All children are inherently good, it's us parents and caretakers that mess them up by trying to fit them into what is convenient for us rather than what serves the child's best interest.
In the end, the 'good' kid becomes messed up by the high expectations and the anxiety and pressure that comes with it, and the 'bad' kid is frowned upon and robbed of the knowledge that he IS indeed good.
What people tend to forget is that they are raising PEOPLE, not obedient servants. We are here to guide our children, not control or 'mold' them and we need to be increasingly conscious of the effects our words and actions have on them.
