Refreshing our appreciation of life with children
[Photo taken by Wilson using iphone]
Life with children is full of ups and downs. I think all parents will totally agree with me on this one.
And now that we’re finally on the very last day of the year 2008, I hope we can all find a moment to re-discover and refresh our appreciation of life with children.
To not expect them to be ‘adult-like’ and ever-understanding towards OUR needs and situations.
To keep quiet for a moment and get ourselves together as best as we can when we’re really mad at them. Rather than choosing to immediately snap back and vent out our frustrations verbally.
To listen to them more. So we can understand them better.
To refresh our love for them and be all the more loving in our approaches towards them.
…
Here’s to a new year filled with more patience, love and appreciation of life with children.
