Growth.
Whoever binds
too close
a curious child
stops progress
and stifles
freedom entirely.
Loosen a side
not known
as invention guides
inner growth
moving child
to learn personal style.

Wise words Faye ... Let nature and not nurture rule the child!
Yes the strings need to be loosened so children can grow to their own awareness -I endorse your suggestion to parents - - "let nature and not nurture rule the child" - thanks so much for your comment.
Oh so true and so nwell expressed. Guidance not dominance.
Perfection with your words, Michael!
Agreed wholeheartedly Michael. - guidance not dominance should be part of a child's early experience.
My Dear Fay,
Your sagacious penned poem is a delightful read!
I totally agree with Michael!
“Guidance not Dominance”!
Children should not be stifled in “bubble wrapping” forevermore! Allow them to fall and pick themselves up!
~Laura~
Dear Laura - your thoughts echo mine on the subject of cloistered children - they wilt beneath too many adult shadows - letting them free to express their own feelings without fear and they become friends with a parent as time goes by. So pleased you enjoyed the read.
A fine write Fay.
Thanks a load dear Orchi. Glad you agree that a child deserves more than tight cloistering.
Thanks Fay. I'm rather snowflakey. I might 'smother' children if I had any of my own. Oops!
Such wise words Fay, every child must be allowed to explore their lives but as Michael has said guided not dominated.
Yes, Fay, you have penned the words of wisdom. Children exposed to nature, through adult guidance, in early life are so much more well-rounded and it is evident in the elementary school setting.
Great poem and thank you for sharing this knowledge. 🙂
sadly we live in an increasingly risk adverse society and where individuality is frowned on... tis a tick a box, pop a pill, quick fix world... I did enjoy your poem though, sorry.. I almost went off on one...
