If I Had This Child To Teach Again

If I Had This Child To Teach Again

 

I'd build character first, and subject matter later.
I'd finger paint more and point fingers less.
I would 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 care less about behaviour and more about feelings
.

 

I'd worry less tomorrow, and care more about today.
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.
