"Jenna Bush Hager did more than pin her 12-year-old daughter Mila's homework to the refrigerator - she shared it with the world on Instagram. The assignment asked Mila to respond to the prompt "I want," and her thoughtful answers brought Jenna to tears. "I want the world to be peaceful and scary stuff to be fake," Mila wrote. "I want to meet my mom when she was my age.""
""I believe love is the antidote to fear, and by being joyful with people we love, we can combat 'the scary,'" she wrote on Oct. 6, adding that she recently taught Mila "she can use her voice and her skills to serve others, which also spreads love." As for Mila meeting the 12-year-old version of her mom, Jenna responds: "I've wondered recently about myself at age 12. Was I as worried as Mila is about the plight of the world?""
""If my kids are feeling stressed, or if I am, I get outside. I walk in nature," she revealed in the newsletter. "It reminds me that I am a small part of something magnificent. Enormous trees really do something for perspective!""
Jenna Bush Hager shared her 12-year-old daughter Mila's homework responses publicly after Mila completed the prompt "I want." Mila expressed desires for a peaceful world, for scary things to be fake, to meet her mother at the same age, to walk a beach full of sea glass, to discover new colors, to be able to fall asleep at will, and to lie in burning hot sand without burning. Jenna emphasizes that love counters fear, teaches Mila to use her voice and skills to serve others, and finds solace in family rituals, evening walks, and nature for perspective.
