How can we inspire our children best?


"We all need someone who inspires us to do better than we know how." ~~ Anonymous
When children are born, their only two fears are:
1. The fear of falling.
2. The fear of loud noises.

That's it! Other than that, they are purely and completely shaped by their environment i.e their parents, family and caregivers. Their minds are open and absorbing everything they are surrounded by. Our reactions, responses, voices, and tones are all making impressions upon their little brains as they grow. We are the "soil", if you will. They are the "seeds". The "roots" are the "impressions" that they form. These "roots" or "impressions" really are the foundation of their growth. They carry our children to their growth and through their growth. Their personalities form from these impressions. As a parent, I am awed by the fantastic role we play as parents in growing their roots and shaping them! Through their most formative years (0-7), by simply understanding our children and their emotional boundaries, we can not only teach them how to do things but we also inspire them and hold their hands through what they have never experienced before.... walking, talking,riding a bike and so much more. We are their parents and their teachers!

We are that "someone" that inspires our children to do better than they know how! We can only do that if we first believe in ourselves!


THIS IS HOW THIS SINGLE MOM DOES IT!
IN JOY!
