Understanding our children

There is something remarkable about gaining that extra insight into personalities be it our own, our loved ones or friends. We will certainly benefit most when we better understand how a person function, what are their likes/dislikes. We need to know why children behave the way they want, what makes them show tantrums one minute and are like an angel the next. It is important to know what actually makes children 'tick'. We cannot just play the guess-work out of raising children. Parents must build that communication level in the early years of the child's development. With these trying time, parents must start early. Don't wait until it's too late;
remember it is never to early no matter how old your children are.

Parenthood and caregiving are the most important experiences we encounter in life. But sadly to say, most of us have little knowledge and less experience in handling these sort of challenges.
During past decades children are expected to follow in their parents footsteps. Now with much less restriction in our society and more recognition place on individuality, the problems of parenting and teaching and also counseling have grown tremendously. Our children are exposed to more; are certainly more aware thanks to computers and have more potential than ever before to rise or fall! It has in all become more challenging to the parent in this new millennium.

Each child is a complete and unique individual and should be treated and handled differently. Children are said to be merely small adults in the process of becoming, only with much less experience/wisdom. Parents must therefore show the way through example, love and understanding. Parents should have the interest and take time to help children to grow into happier and more secure adults....the future of our world is dependent on it ! Lets join forces and work within our borders and community and ensure the success of this all.

I wish......

I wish i could build me that dream home, then i would fill it with my favorite people and all my happiest memories
I wish i could take back all those times when we hurt one another, then i would exchange them with words like "i love you" or "im glad we are family"
I wish i could guarantee that we can have all the tomorrows we ever want but i can't change the past or more predict the future
So i will just say "i love my family and am glad to be your sister."

I believe...............

I believe there's always hope when all seems lost,
I believe in dreams and plans and wishes can all come true
I believe in miracles and in magic too
I believe in family and seeing happy smiles
I believe in turning negatives to positives in life
I believe in looking farther up, the farther down we get
I believe when someone hurts us we should forgive and forget ( but this is hard to do because MAN remain trapped in a cycle of hurting back whenever they are hurt)
I believe love should prevail at any cost
I believe in saying what you mean and meaning what you say
I believe a better attitude can make a better way
I believe in viewing life as a journey that we're on and looking at our troubles as another stepping stone
I believe that everything in life is what its meant to be and that there is a GOD somewhere although He's hard to see
I believe that i am me therefore i should do all that i can to be a better piece in the puzzle of God's plan
I believe that we should learn even one new thing about ourself everyday
I believe we should handle one situation with another person a little better than we did before, it will then be a successful day
I believe we should resist indulging in an old, unhealthy pattern of behavior and instead choose a new one
I believe learning to love and respect ourself means beginning to see ourself through God's eyes
I believe we should be grateful for the gift of being alive and for the opportunity to learn and grow
I believe we should do all that we can to make this world a better place to live in and if all seems lost just reach out to the Lord for he is your guiding light when you are in darkness and a strength to be reckon with without any doubt !

Hugs---(3)

Thanks for visiting my blog...But before you leave accept my HUG.

Let us not forget to embrace and to utter the words "i love you" my son/daughter/papa/mummy etc (and the list goes on and on) to those that we love. To that one person who have brought pain/suffering into our heart make an effort to forgive him/her and give that person a
HUG. It will surely heal the pain that is within you. As the saying goes, forgive and forget but to forgive and forget is simply divine.

Remember, if you need a hug just ask for one. :]

A poem by Dean Walley

HUGGING

It's wondrous what a hug can do
A hug can cheer you when you're blue
A hug can say " I love you so" or "I hate to see you go..."
A hug is "welcome back again", "great to see you !" and/or "where have you been?"
A hug can soothe a small child's pain and bring a rainbow after rain.

The hug, there's just no doubt about it--- we scarcely could survive without it !
A hug delights and warms and charms
It must be why GOD gave us arms.
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers, sweet for sisters and swell for brothers
And chances are your favorite aunts love them more than potted plants.

Kittens crave them, puppies love them
Heads of states are not above them
A hug can break the language barrier
No need to fret about your store of them;
The more you give, the more there are of them
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today !

Hugs---(1)

Having a hard day, or maybe feeling a bitty lonely then you have come to the right blog. Come on in , relax and allow me to put that smile back on your face.
A hug makes you feel good, like ntv7 my feel good channel. They say we all need at least four hugs daily for survival, eight hugs for maintenance and twelve hugs for growth. A hug is a form of communication. It says things that you have no words for. The BEST thing about a hug is you can't give one out without receiving one back in return.
To hug another is healthy activity. It promotes the body's immunity system, thus keeping us forever healthier. It reduces stress (much that we need in our lives today), it induces sleep and its rejuvenating.
Hugging and actually being in physical contact with others, and it makes a difference in a person's frame of mind.
Hugs are not only nice but they are much needed by everyone. Children and the elderly are the ones who need hugs the most. A hug can ease the pain and overcome all fears. It makes happy days even happier days and all impossible days possible.
I am giving here insight to the types of hugs that we have all entered into sometime or other in our daily lives:

(1) The Bear Hug---great for two individuals

(2) The A-Frame Hug---just a brief embrace ideal for new intrductions that requires a bit of formality

(3) The Cheek Hug---this can be executed in a sitting or standing position, and

(4) The Group Hug---meant for feel good friends sharing a common activity. It spells support, unity and universal belonging.

In conclusion i hereby leave you with a heart warming poem and some cute and fun information/quotes about hugs. Give it some thought for it's something the world needs more of.

A hug is two hearts wrapped in arms......

A hug is a handshake from the heart......
