Your children will smash your understanding, knowledge and r

Summary

This quote reflects the transformative impact that children can have on their parents' lives. It suggests that through their curiosity, growth, and unique perspectives, children have the power to challenge and break down their parents' established understanding, knowledge, and perception of reality. While this may initially feel discomforting, the quote implies that embracing this process can lead to personal growth and improvement. However, it also warns that once children grow up and leave, their absence will be deeply felt, resulting in a lasting longing and nostalgia for the time spent together.
