Dear Young Ones,

As your guardians, we often prioritize teaching you essential safety skills like looking both ways before crossing the street or avoiding hot surfaces and unknown animals. Yet, in our quest to shield you from immediate dangers, we may overlook imparting other crucial lessons that contribute to your overall happiness and well-being. While these topics may not seem as urgent, they are nonetheless vital for your understanding of daily life. Here are some insights that I believe you would benefit from knowing:

1. Embrace Naptime: Contrary to your protests, napping is not an enemy. On the contrary, it is a wonderful opportunity for rest and rejuvenation. When you’re encouraged to nestle into your cozy bed for a midday snooze, recognize it as a rare gift. Your vehement resistance makes it apparent that you haven’t yet grasped how precious guilt-free naps truly are. Remember, enjoying long naps is a luxury, not a chore.
2. Prioritize Personal Hygiene: While you often resist nail clipping, haircuts, or baths, these activities are essential for your well-being. These are not mere inconveniences; they are services that adults willingly pay for. You are fortunate to have a personal stylist available at all times who ensures you look your best without any effort on your part. Appreciate this, rather than complaining about it.
3. Laundry is Magical: You may not realize how incredible it is to have clean clothes magically appear in your drawers after tossing your dirty items into the hamper. This in-home laundry service is a marvel that many adults wish for. Moreover, having someone coordinate your outfits daily simplifies your life immensely. Recognize the effort behind this convenience instead of taking it for granted.
4. You Have a Personal Chef: Think about it – you never have to worry about meal planning or grocery shopping. All you need to do is sit at the table when called, and a nutritious meal awaits you. I even make sure your food is at the perfect temperature for you, sacrificing my own meal in the process. The next time you find yourself picking at your food, try to remember the effort it takes to prepare those meals.
5. Transportation Made Easy: You have yet to experience the stress of navigating traffic or searching for parking. Instead, you can relax in the backseat, entertain yourself, or drift off to sleep. The complexities of driving are handled for you, allowing you to focus on enjoying the ride. Appreciate this privilege while it lasts.

I hope this letter helps you understand the advantages you enjoy daily. You are surrounded by conveniences that many people would envy. From personal chefs to laundry services, you have a support system that allows you to thrive. Don’t wait until adulthood to appreciate these blessings; cherish them now.

You’re welcome!

Love,
Mommy
