Food for Thought...

How to Really Love A Child
by Bonnie M Torrente

Be there. Say "yes" as often as possible.
Let them bang on pots and pans.
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.
Plant licorice in your garden.
Open up, stop yelling, express your love, A lot!
Speak kindly. Paint their tennis shoes.

Handle with caring.
