THOUGHTS
FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN
If
I Had My Child to Raise Over Again
Diane
Loomans
If I had my child to raise all over again,
I’d build
self-esteem first, and the house later.
I’d finger-paint more, and point
the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I’d
take my eyes off 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 I’d seriously play.
I would run through more
fields and gaze at more stars.
I’d do more hugging and less tugging.
I’d see the oak tree in the acorn more often.
I would be firm less often,
and affirm much more.
I’d model less about the love of power,
And
more about the power of love!
