Editor’s note: This piece originally ran on Jan. 6, 2022. I have a bad habit of looking at my feet when I walk. I don’t often stub my toe or trip on uneven ground, but occasionally I run into something or someone I’m not expecting. Our 2-year-old has the opposite issue. While we walk around our neighborhood, his head is always up and looking around. This means he often trips over his feet, but his view of the world is much broader than mine.
