THANK YOU, LIBBY, FOR YOUR POINT-ON COMMENTS. I WOULD SAY THIS TO ANY PARENTS WHO MIGHT BE INTIMIDATED BY THE CALL TO “EQUIP OURSELVES TO DO THE PARENTING JOB WELL…” THERE ARE MANY, MANY PARENTS WHO ARE DOING A VERY GOOD PARENTING JOB WHILE GETTING THEMSELVES TOGETHER. HERE ARE FOUR THINGS ANY PARENT CAN DO: 1) SHOW KINDNESS, LOVE AND RESPECT FOR THEIR CHILD 2) SAY “I LOVE YOU” EVERYDAY 3) HUG THEM EVERYDAY 4) BE SOMEONE THEY CAN LOOK TO FOR ENCOURAGEMENT AND UNDERSTANDING 5) SHOW INTEREST IN THEIR SCHOOL ACTIVITIES BY KNOWING THEIR TEACHERS, ASKING ABOUT THEIR HOMEWORK AND BY ALLOWING TIME EVERYDAY FOR THEM TO DO THEIR SCHOOL ASSIGNMENTS.
ALL OF THESE CAN BE DONE BY ANY PARENT WHO WANTS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THEIR CHILDREN CAN GROW.
LIBBY, YOUR DAUGHTERS ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE A MOM WHO IS AWARE OF THE AWESOME POWER OF A GOOD EXAMPLE. LATER THIS WEEK I WILL POST ONE OF THE POEMS IN MY BOOK “WOMEN & SIMPLE TRUTHS”, CALLED “ADVICE TO A DAUGTHER”. IT IS MY FAVORITE. I THINK YOU WILL LIKE IT.
