From a friend’s post…made me smile!
Give your presence
Laugh, dance and sing together
Listen from a heart space
Encourage
Understand
Allow them to love themselves
Ask their opinions
Learn from them
Say yes as often as possible
Say no when necessary
Honor their no’s
Apologize
Touch gently
Build lots of blanket forts
Open up
Fly kites together
Lighten up
Believe in possibilities
Read books out loud
Create a circle of quite
Teach feelings
Share your dreams
Walk in the rain
Celebrate mistakes
Admit yours
Frame their artwork
Stay up late together
Eliminate Comparisons
Delight in silliness
Handle with care
Protect them
Cherish their innocence
Giggle
Speak kindly
Go swimming
Splash
Let them help
Let them cry
Don’t hide your tears
Brag about them
Answer their questions
Let them go when it’s time
Let them come back
Show compassion
Bend down to talk to little children
Smile even when you are tired
Surprise with a special Lunch
Don’t judge their friends
Give them enough room to make decisions
Love all that they do
Honor their differences
Respect them
Remember they have not been on earth very long
