“More than the calf wants to suckle, the cow wants to nurse.” Talmud (Pesachim 112a)
Parents are natural givers.
They want to give even more than their kids want to take.
Which is why it’s so gratifying to be able to spend quality time with our kids and contribute to their happiness.
So, as much as my son was excited for me to join him at a camp water park a couple of weeks ago, I was happier to be able to bring him joy with my presence and participation.
This Talmudic principal, in my view, applies to teachers and coaches as well.
