“If I had my child to raise all over again,I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less.I'd do less correcting, and more connecting.I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch 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'd run through more fields, and gaze at more stars.I'd do more hugging, and less tugging.I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.I'd build self esteem first, and the house later.I'd teach less about the love of power, and more about the power of love.” IfsKnowsFirstsChildrenSelfPlayWould BeEyeCareRunningHouseStarsParentWatchesTeachSelf EsteemFieldsSeriousRaisesParentingFingersPaintEsteemFirmMy ChildrenHugConnectingRaising ChildrenPower Of LoveBeing A ParentCorrectingHaving ChildrenKitesChildren And ParentsParents LoveChildren PlayingGood ParentRaising KidsFunny ParentingParent ChildFunny ParentTuggingGreat ParentingInspirational ParentingKids PlayingRaise Self EsteemLove My ParentsLoving ChildrenInspirational ParentsEyes WatchingI Love My ParentsLove My KidsWise ParentsBuilding Self EsteemBeing A Good ParentLove My ChildrenThrough The Eyes Of A ChildLove My SonHaving A Son Author:Diana Loomans
“It may be that to eat and be eaten are the same thing in the end. My wisdom tells me that this is probably so. We are all made of the same stuff, remember, we of the Jungle, you of the City. The same substance composes us-the tree overhead, the stone beneath us, the bird, the beast, the star-we are all one, all moving to the same end. Remember that when you no longer remember me, my child.” MayChildrenMadeEndsRememberMovingStarsStuffCitiesTreeBirdStonesSubstanceMy ChildrenBeastJungleRemember MeOverhead Book:Mary Poppins: 80th Anniversary Collection Source: Mary Poppins: 80th Anniversary Collection
“I would want my children to grow up and do what they wish to in a field that they choose to step in. They should not have to use the shadow of their father's name. I think that is a bit of a downer for a movie star's children.” ThinkingWantShouldChildrenUseFatherNamesWishStarsGrowsBitsStepsGrowing UpFieldsShadowMy ChildrenMovie StarDowners Author:Shahrukh Khan
“If one might wish for impossibilities, I might then wish that my children might be well versed in physical science, but in due subordination to the fulness and freshness of their knowledge on moral subjects. ... Rather than have it the principal thing in my son's mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament.” IfsThinkingMindWellsChildrenMightEarthScienceWishStarsMoralSunSubjectsSonBlueRoundsDuesMy ChildrenMy SonPrincipalImpossibilityFreshnessPhysical ScienceFirmamentSubordination Author:Tom Arnold
