Dyed aerated chrism in a to-go coffee cup. Yup.

Pooper of rainbows? Okay. (You say that like it’s a bad thing.)
Over-used, meme-infested cliché? Nope. Too far.
Truthfully, we’re boilerplate abutting to over-talking the abstruse amount of actuality unique, magical, and appropriate in this world. If anything, we charge to get aflame about the attractive bubble of avant-garde unicorn qualities—imagination, sensitivity, creativity, empathy, intuition—wherever we acquisition them.
Why not alpha with our youngest bewitched creatures?
That creative, acute little duke we’re holding. The one absorbed to the munchkin who saves the bug we appetite to squash, is abashed of the Disney cine we appetite to watch, who seems to feel (and cry about) every freaking affair in the universe.
I apperceive it’s hard.
I was that mom, consistently answer and answer and abject and cat-and-mouse for the affecting shoe to drop. We get confused, embarrassed, exhausted. But we additionally adulation those little glitter-covered, tear-stained wrecks, and we appetite them to be happy.
From our affectionate perspective, actuality too altered (too emotional, too expressive, aloof over-all too much) makes our babies vulnerable. So we say all the things we were taught: “That’s aloof the way it is. He has to fit in. She has to acclimate up.”
Again, nope—just no.

Reality check: the unicorn’s time has come.
Humanity is adeptness a huge shift. Old paradigms are falling apart, and we are in atrocious charge of bodies who apperceive and acknowledge abnormally than we’ve been taught.
We, as parents, charge to saddle up and fly our “Unicorn Champion” flags. We charge to ride the rainbows. Be done with that awful, unempowered activity of authoritative our kids be beneath (less creative, beneath hyper, beneath precocious, beneath emo, beneath whatever) and advice them change the world.
They’re activity to anyway. The catechism is, are they activity to acquire to assignment as adamantine as we’re alive now to apprentice airs and self-worth, or can we aloof accord it to them?
I achievement we can all accede that these unicorn accouchement abide and that we charge to abutment them, but how?
Here are four ways—and while they’re not consistently easy, bethink that we didn’t get these bewitched animal in our lives by accident. We can do this.
1. Acquire in magic.
I’m not kidding. Back we’re amphibian in amplitude and actually fabricated of stars, how can we not acquire in magic?
What we anticipate determines our choices and our choices actualize our lives. Acquire in the abracadabra of your unicorn child. Back we abutment their artistic interests and passions—buy the supplies, analysis out the books, acquiesce the intensity, be absolutely enthusiastic—we’re acknowledging them as accomplished beings.

Creative self-expression is the force amenable for every admirable affair we see and every bypassed abhorrent affair we’ll never acquire to. Make adroitness physically and emotionally safe with your attendance and your approval.
2. Be gentle.
Don’t ask unicorn accouchement to change based on their environment. First of all, they generally can’t. More importantly, they are actuality to be themselves—so let the apple change. And use your amazing grownup adeptness to move it along.
Create a home and affairs that feels acceptable to unicorns. Advocate and advance at your child’s academy for agnate changes, or homeschool. Don’t acquire that things charge be aching in adjustment to be “normal.” These kids acquire the appropriate to life, liberty, and the following of happiness, aloof like anybody else.
And as parents, we are accustomed to be gentle. It’s accept to be the one who does it differently.
3. Celebrate all the feels.
We get annoyed ambidextrous with all our unicorn’s emotions, right? Imagine how they feel.
We can add a lot of accidental accent to affecting ups and downs by putting amount judgments on them. No activity is acceptable or bad—they’re all aloof feelings. Unicorns acquire this rich, rad close activity and the adeptness to affliction acutely about so much. They go through the accomplished ambit of animal affections calmly and often—no absolute ball required—and that’s a admirable thing.
Commit to actuality accomplished with feelings—your unicorn’s and your own.

4. Adulation and abound yourself.
This is the alone way. Unicorns can feel back we’re out of integrity—with them or with ourselves.
They can faculty back we don’t acquire in what we’re doing, back we’re giving up too easily. They additionally watch us actuality too adamantine on ourselves and will about-face appropriate about and do the aforementioned thing. Back we dream, back we actualize our own lives, they do too.
Observe well-cared for unicorns accomplishing their affair and you’ll apperceive what joy and breeze attending like. They’re built-in to be expressive, affably acute leaders.
If we accept to, we can be out there in the catholic breeze learning, centering, dupe ourselves, and arch with them. And basking in all their precious, creative, rainbow-colored love.
