Our son has been talking about wishing he could "see" his future whenever he's frustrated about not being old enough to do something. Like driving.
Uh, yeah. He's not yet six.
So, he's begun to write books about his fantasy future. Each version gets more detailed.
While I love that he's being creative, I'm not thrilled that he sometimes concentrates upon how his life will be in the future and lamenting it's not "there" yet today.
He's trying to grow up too fast!
What do you say when your child knows what being an adult will bring to their lives, but they are "stuck" in their child years?
Also, we are a Christian family. I've told our son (as has his school) about heaven and how there will be no misery there.
He speaks about wishing to go there.
I've told him God has a lot of learning for him here and He won't be happy to see him come before He's ready for him.
Are there other Christian parents that can tell me what to do at this point?
Our son is very happy with life in general, but he knows it's not perfect.
PERFECT
Hate that word.
