Emma was driving a toddler "jeep" up a hill today and was finding it hard to move forward. Of course, she didn't want any help from me in the pushing department. So I discreetly put my foot behind her back wheel so she wouldn't roll backwards.
I wonder if this is an apt metaphor for parenthood - nothing as overt as pushing them up, but just quietly putting our feet behind our kids' back wheels so that they can keep propelling themselves upwards, rather than sliding down back to where they begun.
