If
I had my child to raise all over again, Author Unknown
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
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
