The Slow-ripening Fruits of Mothering: Time Out Classics
The Slow-ripening Fruits of Mothering Time Out Classics Author:Emily Watts Have you ever bitten into a fruit that's not ripe-maybe a hard — strawberry or a green melon? All you really want to do is spit it — out. If you were judging strawberries or melons based on that — one experience, you might think the fruit was not good to eat. — But if you waited until the fruit was ripe and then tried it, you — would see how deliciou... more »s it could be. Understanding that analogy
helps us understand an important truth about raising children:
children are the slowest-ripening fruit there is. Those precious
fruits of mothering take a long time to mature, and they all ripen
at different rates. Popular author and speaker Emily Watts offers
encouragement, perspective, and a good dose of humor to help
moms deal with the slow-ripening fruits in their own lives.
