| "IF I HAD MY CHILD TO RAISE OVER"
by Dr. Jim Moore |
|
"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 less correcting and more connecting. |
|
I'd take my eyes off of my watch and watch more with my eyes. |
|
I would care to know less and know to care more. |
|
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. |
|
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often. |
|
I would be firm less often, and affirm much more. |
|
I'd model less about the love of power, |
|
And more about the power of love". |
