Everyone Has Something To Teach

Anneka Gupta approaches difficult people with one mindset.

'I really try to remind myself that everyone has something to teach and everyone has something to learn. I think that helps think about how you interact with other people, but also combat imposter syndrome - because you have something to bring to the table as well.'

With your toddler, this cuts both ways.

They have something to teach you. Maybe it's about presence, or joy, or asking for what they want, or resilience after disappointment. Watch and learn.

And you have something to teach them - even when you feel like you have no idea what you're doing.

'No matter what your age is, no matter what your background, leaning into that and realizing that people can learn from you and you can learn from others in every single situation.'

Your toddler is learning from you whether you feel qualified or not.

And you're learning from them whether you notice or not.
