I took my toddler to a museum. I was stressing about his behavior until a stranger told me what I needed to hear.
Briefly

Visiting the museum with my son became a personal journey of joy and anxiety. My childhood memories of awe inspired me to share that with him, despite my worries about his unpredictable behavior. Preparing him for museum etiquette made me nervous, especially surrounded by older visitors. However, seeing his delight amid the art encouraged me to embrace the experience despite initial challenges. The outing reminded me of my connection to art and the joyful discovery it represents for children.
As a child, the art museum was my haven. The huge statues in the entryway, the ceiling-height paintings, and the magical modern art filled me with wonder.
I wasn't expecting to hear exactly what I needed from a stranger. After getting our tickets and finding the restrooms, I was overstimulated, overheating, and almost ready to give up.
