Why I Let My Kids Make a Mess—And What They Learn From It

What so-called "bad" thing do I let my kids do? I let them make a mess—paint on the table, build forts out of every blanket in the house, and sometimes even jump in puddles on the way home. It might look chaotic, but I’ve realized these moments are when they’re most creative and free. Sure, it means more cleaning for me, but seeing their faces light up as they explore and create is worth every minute. I want them to know it’s okay to get a little messy while learning and growing.
