Summary

This quote emphasizes that raising children should be seen as a creative process, not something rigidly determined by rules and formulas. It suggests that there is no single correct way to raise children but rather, it should be approached as an art form that requires flexibility, intuition, and individualized strategies. Just like an artist, a parent should adapt their methods to the unique needs of their child, appreciating their distinct challenges and strengths. In acknowledging the creative aspect of parenting, this quote encourages parents to trust their instincts and embrace the inherent variability in the journey of raising children.
