--I know for a fact that I have told my children on more than one occasion that the only way to over came a negative is with a over powering positive. And they just shake their heads and look at me. Hoping to by pass another of a long line of soapbox sermons, and get away clean. In fact as they get older they tend to listen less, and run faster. Forgetting of course that their were seeds planted long before it was decided that parents were just people you had to put up with until you reached the magic age of 18.
--I’ve often been criticized for the way I talk to my children. It seems treating them like little people is frowned upon by the main stream. They would rather have you talk nonsense for the first 5 years and let the school straighten out the mess of mush.
--I on the other hand have always treated my children as little people. And talked to them constantly. Because I knew I only had a few years before they reached a stage when they would stop listening. Usually around their preteen years, it seems.
--Of course after starting in school as a parent I was constantly being reminded of just how little I did know. By the so called Teachers and school system. So it only made the race all the more important.
--Today my children are always reminding me in one way or another of the little things I used to say coming back on them to see the light of day. I just smile and say image that. Because there's really no point in mentioning seeds planted long ago. They'd just roll their eyes and try to get away....
