I read this very interesting list of things and realized how often we , the parents, who claim to love the child the most, do not let the child be a child!
IF I HAD MY CHILD TO RAISE OVER AGAIN
If I had to raise my child all over again,
• I’d finger paint more, and point the finger less.
• I’d do less correcting, and more connecting,
• I’d take my eyes of my watch, and watch with my eyes.
• I would care to know less, and know to care more.
• I’d take more hikes and fly more kites.
• I’d stop playing serious, and seriously play.
• I’d run through more fields, and gaze more at stars.
• I’d do more hugging and less tugging.
• I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.
• I’d build self-esteem first, and the house later.
• I’d teach less about the love of power,
• And more about the power of love.
