When Change Is The Only Constant.

If I had My Child to raise..

I'd build self esteem first and the house later.
I'd finger paint more and point 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 seriously and seriously play.

I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars
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 care about the power of love.

It's not easy to be a parent. It's also not easy to be the child. The key here is love and tolerance.
