Because children see parents as authority figures and gods, they think that the way you treat them is the way they deserved to be treated. "What you say about me is what I am" is a literal truth to your child. Consequently when children are treated with respect, they conclude that they deserve respect and hence develop self-respect.

EVERY CHILD IS GIFTED
THEY JUST UNWRAP
THEIR PACKAGES
AT DIFFERENT TIMES

IF YOUR ACTIONS INSPIRE OTHERS,
TO DREAM MORE,
LEARN MORE,
DO MORE
AND BECOME MORE,
YOU ARE A LEADER
-JOHN QUINCY ADAMS-

EVERYBODY IS A GENIUS
BUT IF YOU JUDGE A FISH
BY ITS ABILITY TO CLIMB A TREE
IT WILL LIVE ITS WHOLE LIFE
BELIEVING THAT IT IS STUPID
-ALBERT EINSTEIN-

If a child can't learn
The way we teach,
Maybe we should teach
The way they learn.

Should children have homework? Yes or no?

6 OF THE BIGGEST PARENTING REGRETS...

6 Of The Biggest Parenting Regrets I've Had My baby was bald for her first two full years. Desperate to make her look girlier, I tracked down non-slip hair clips for "ultra fine baby hair" and stuck them on her two strands of hair. When I look back at photos, it just looks like she has a piece of felt glued to her bald head. Major fail.

She is stuck between
Who she is...
Who she wants to be...
And who she should be...

Don't be that person...

Ignore the drama, ignore the hatred, ignore the pain...

Find peace, find happiness, find yourself...

Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.
