“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’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.“ -Diane Loomans.
I think I have followed the above quote to a little extent but I wish I had done more! Nevertheless the limited strength of humans acts as a resistor! If moms are allowed the luxury of no work than playing with kids.....how wonderful it would be!!!
