Love is giving your kids your undivided attention and time
When talking w/kids its not what we say but how we say it! Think about your tone of voice & non-verbal communication. When talking to my kids I can get them to listen better by not talking down to them, but talking to them at eyeball level
Communicating w/kids, its a 2 way street, sometimes they just need us to be there for them & listen.
When you give a little of yourself to a child, you give a little of yourself to their future !
Let your kids observe you doing random acts of kindness, it can be contagious
Don't be afraid of giving kids responsibility, be there to guide & support them, not just to do things for them
Kids are like a mirror, what they see and hear they do. Be a good reflection for them.
You have many choices. You can choose forgiveness over revenge, joy over despair. You can choose action over apathy..- Stephanie Marston Letting your kids see u helping others and not expect anything in return can be contagious
To me parenting is all about trust. If you don't live by your words or actions how do you expect your kids to listen to you?
You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you.- Desmond Tutu In the end, kids won't remember that fancy toy or game you bought for them, they will remember the time you spent with them.
What I love about kids is there innate ability to love unconditionally - we can all learn from this
