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.
