A new video is circulating that sheds light on how children view their ordinary days. As a parent, I often feel like my kids aren’t experiencing the “magical” childhoods that are so commonly portrayed. There’s no “fairy door” in their room, no Elf appearing on the Christmas tree branch, and certainly no “bunny tracks” left behind during Easter festivities. We simply don’t engage in those activities.
My kids’ everyday experiences aren’t filled with wonder, either. After long workdays, I often push myself to create special moments, attempting to showcase just how significant they are to me. But I never paused to consider how they perceive our time together… until I stumbled upon this enlightening video by Emily Brooks on the YouTube channel Life Through Their Eyes.
This video encourages parents to reflect on the seemingly mundane aspects of their day-to-day lives, which, when seen through their children’s eyes, might actually hold a sense of magic. The ordinary moments—like cooking dinner together or sharing laughter—could be the very things that fill their lives with joy. Growing up in the eighties, I certainly didn’t have parents striving to create magical experiences, yet I cherish the simple memories just as much.
Take a breather, moms. It turns out, you are the magic in your child’s life.
