All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood.

Summary

This quote suggests that throughout our lives, we oscillate between being a child and a parent. As children, we are constantly learning and shaping our future roles as parents. Once we become parents ourselves, we find ourselves focusing predominantly on fulfilling our parental responsibilities, while also reliving and reflecting on our own childhood experiences. It highlights the lifelong cycle of learning, growing, and passing on knowledge, as we transition from being recipients of nurturing to becoming providers of care and guidance.
