How to Really Love A Child

This was written by my adopted daughter, Heather. A wonderful Mother, who learned to love by herself.

Be there. Say "yes" as often as possible.
Let them bang on pots and pans.
If they're crabby, put them in water.
If they're unlovable,love yourself.
Realize how important it is to be a child.
Go to the movie theater in your pajama's.
Read books out loud, with joy.
Invent pleasures together.
Remember how small they are.
Giggle a lot.Surprise them.
Say "no" when necessary.
Teach feelings. Heal your own inner child and learn about parenting.
Hug trees together. Make loving safe.
Bake a cake and eat it together.
Find an elephant and kiss it.
Imagine yourself magic.
Make lots of forts with blankets.
Let your angel fly; reveal your own dreams.
Search for the positive, keep the gleam in your eye.
Hail letters to "God", encourage silly.
Plant licorace in your garden.
Open up, stop yelling, express your love, A lot!
Speak kindly. Paint their tennis shoes.


Handle with caring.


~ Children Are Miraculous ~
