๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ง๐ŸŒ‰ While traveling with our granddaughter on holiday in Venice we experienced a defiant four year old as we attempted to cross one of the many island bridges.

๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšถ๐ŸพThis was the fourth consecutive day of outings and our little princess looked at those stairs and went into lockdown.

_

๐ŸšทShe even exclaimed very sensibly, โ€œMy legs are little. You have big legs!โ€, and preceded to grab hold of the bridge rails refusing to move one step further.

Her loving and astute parents realized it was time for an intervention so dad proceeded to hoist daughter atop his shoulders, treating her to the piggyback ride of her dreams. She felt on top of the world and we were able to continue our tour without further incidents.

๐Ÿ† Itโ€™s amazing what can happen when you truly listen to your child and respond in a way that lets them know they are heard, they matter and they are loved.
