I love Cat Stevens. The lyrics to this song couldn't be better for what I want for our kids. At least, I hope that we can teach them to care less about what others think and more about what they want to do and who they want to be. I want them to be their own, unique, creative, individual selves. I want them to spend little time and effort on meeting others' expectations. I want them to spend more of their time loving who they are and being satisfied with what they offer.
They say, on the subject of teaching kids, that modeling is way more effective than talking.
Shoot.
