Candy canes and life lessons - www.permissiongranted.org

Candy canes can teach you a lot about life...

I have a beautiful 4 year old granddaughter and can tell you a 4 year old perspective is, to the point, totally focused on the moment and terribly dramatic. I've also seen this in the 4 year olds we have in the studio involving candy canes from their perspective.

Comparing candy canes to candy canes ...and life
A 4 year old is pretty sure what they want – they want the candy cane,
But only if ...
you don't want them to have it
you don't want them to have it at that particular moment
it's the right color, even though it looked fine a second ago
there's not a lot of choices – what if they pick the wrong one ?
they think the kid next to them has a better flavor and
they're pretty sure the kid's next to them is larger and ...

So, remember that 4 year old you once were ? We haven't changed that much...
