if i had my child to raise all over again

my daughters preschool gave me this poem..and i loved it....and i really
wanted to share it.....
if i had my child to raise all over again,
id finger paint more and point the finger less
id do less correction, and more connecting
id take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes
i would care to know less, and know to care more
id take more hikes and fly more kites
id stop playing serious and seriously play
id run through more feilds and gaze at more stars
id do more hugging and less tugging
i would be firm less often, and affirm much more
id build self esteem first, and the house later
id teach less about love and power,
and more about the power of love

So this must be why grandparents are so cool! They have learned the lesson
of taking more time to spend with the kids and doing things with them...My
two grandsons are staying with me right now...we went out yesterday and picked
mulberries and made jelly together...We are going to try it today! It was
a cool experience!
