Read books out loud with joy! Invent pleasures toghether. Remeber how really small they are. Giggle a lot... Surprise them. Say No when necessary Teach feelings Heal your inner child Learn about parenting Hug a tree together Make loving safe Bake a cake and eat it with no hands Go find elephants and kiss them Plan to build a rocketship Imagine yourself magic Make lots of forts with blankets Reveal your own dreams let your angel fly Search out the positives Keep the gleam in your eyes Mail letters to God Encourage silly Plant licorice in your garden open up Stop yelling Express your love A lot.... Speak kindly Handle with care CHILDREN ARE MIRACULOUS They grow up so fast *sigh*
