Just Be There.....

We need to calm down and come together as families. We need to simplify our family lives. Children should have quiet time for reflection and creative flow; and they need to learn how to entertain themselves. Human beings are designed to follow life rhythms.

Just really be there for your kids...it doesn't matter whether they are four or fifty-four!!! We all learn from each other. Be candid and honest with kids. Kids can tell if the walk doesn't match the talk. Work on instilling values and character. It's simple - be their role model. We are far from perfect, but we just need to do the best we can with a keen sensitivity to the fact that we are being watched in all we do. If you want your child to be neat, with a perfectly tidy room every day, then you must be neat. If you want your children to have joyful, well-adjusted dispositions, then they've got to see you acting, feeling and living that way too!
