| Cali (15months) and I "eye to eye" level. |
If I had my child to raise over again, I'd fingerpaint 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'd stop playing serious, and seriously play.I'd do more hugging and less tugging.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.~Diane Loomans

Speaking Eyeball to Eyeball
So often we talk to each other from across the room. We yell for the kids to pick up their toys, we expect them to hear us, and get frustrated when they don't. Starting today, try to speak every word while looking at each other "eye to eye." Get on your knee's if you talking to your tot, or stand on a stool if someone is taller. Make a game out of it. Expect awesome results; everyone you speak too just might hear and respond!
