Future

Hello Saturday :), The weekend , Its been a good 1 for the kids already, They are of out to play on their Scooters, the weather was wet , and now has dried . Scooters are some price , really they are
priceless, to see the joy on your child's face, when they first start of with their new toy, unsure
wobbly ,Just like every thing that is going to come in life, when you first do it , everyone is wobly and unsure.
 Practice makes perfect , every time they fall, get right on back up and back on, they are breaks.
Little ones in everything we do , even playing , its all for our futures. I have a poem, i refer to,
and i found it years ago, when my older 2 were baby`s. It still stands the test of time and someone
, kindly looked it out for me, I have this peom an as i say refer to it often , its all about Children
and bringing them up , just simple sentences that make so much sense. I will write it and put it here for everyone to see, once you see this i am sure you will have seen it before. Or when you read it,
It will stand out and shout at you too just like it did me,. It made that much an impact i remembered
about it 25 years later and will never forget. I am going to have to write , i can`t seem to copy and past it.
  LESSONS FROM LIFE
A child that lives with ridicule , learns to be timid,
A child that lives with criticism, learns to condem,
A child that lives with distrust , learns to be deceitful
A child that lives with antagonism, learns to be hostile
A child that lives with Truth, learns justice.
A child that lives with praise , learn`s to appreciate,
A child that lives with encouragement , learns confidence,
A child that lives with affection, learns to love.
A child that lives with sharing, learns to be considerate,
A child that lives with Knowledge, learns wisdom,
A child that lives with patience, Learns to be tolerant.
A child that lives with happiness, will find Love & Beauty.
These are the simple rules i have , followed as best i could. I`m not perfect far from it, and
would never ever think i was any were near, but i do know right from wrong,
So do my children, and so will theirs , and so do any children that have come,
These simple rules applied to all children, especially as they grow, Make for solid foundations,
The rest you just water them and watch them grow,. Life`s highway, you can only help them
so far, they have lessons to learn too, and as a parent i can only advise, And so can you,
any parent, dont try to tell them how to live their life.
You can advise , if you shout and scream you will find, they dont listen but cannot wait, to get away
from your voice.
If you talk calm, explain, why and what could and is wrong , talk to them , you will be surprised.
They truly do listen to you, you are their rock. You , Seemingly if a child doesn`t tell you,
at-least 1 time they hate, you a day?. Then your not doing it right lol . This is a healthy good sign.
They do not really, hate you. Every child is unique and have so much to give, learning is fun,
Make it so not a chore , everything is all about learning for their future, you can set them up with the right tools, and ammunition, It is totally up-to, them how they use these ,. All you can do, when the choices, they make are wrong, is be there, to help pick them up and dust them down , & say there
there there , Not i told You SO.
It can be hard especially when you know you can stop the fall,. You can try with all your might
Then i say , just think back to when your parents tried to tell you something. Did you listen!!! NO.
I know i never , i thought i knew all there was needed to know , now i can laugh at how stupid and naive, talk about green behind the ears. Ha personaly you could have grown potatoes in mines.
This must have drove my mum daft, seeing my mistakes yet would i listen, would i nothing.
Me miss no it all , huh . Now on reflection , i wish i had of i have another poem about Mothers Too
At 6 years"Mommy" I Love you.
At 10 years , whatever.
At 16, my mum is so annoying ,
At 18 ,i wanna leave this house,
At 25 mum, you were right,
At 30, I wanna go to Mums house,
At 50, I don`t want to lose my mum.
At 70 , i would give up everything ,
For my mum to be here right now.
This is appreciating your mum .
Its not till your child has their own children , they realize, some of the sacrifices made, just for that wee bundle of hope, love and joy, The smiles and laughter you will share is Priceless, To see
a content face , to hear them eating their dinner grunting , o how you will laugh , this time goes by
so fast , these little moments , soon are all in your history as you watch your child and how they
have grown , on all levels, Do not think its only Till they are 16 lol these years were the easy ones,
Its the teenage years , when your child you hardly recognize, Just remember they love you, no matter what they spurt out of their mouths. If you have laid solid foundations they will come back round its only their teenage years, Remember yours. Mines were wild and thankfully maybe that is how i keep
my children smart and hopefully teach and taught them well. for their futures and their children's futures. We as the parents have to bring the magic back , children are not children for long these days, personally I wouldn`t like to be a child of this day and age, Watching and trying to understand their ways , sometimes i am left scratching my head as to why, then i remember what i was like and again thankfully nothing like their parents, so we must have done something right. Another reason,
I know for sure my older 2 were proper, had manners etc, especially when the parents are not there
People who met our children before us in person, would want to meet us , to see who is bringing
these children up , as to how they behaved, in everything they done, it shined through, and that
was one of the greatest compliments we received, due to the person wishing to meet the parents of these children, They were so clever and spot on , and so sure of themselves,. We as the parents were intrigued, as to how our children had such an impact on others too, We went to meet this person ,
Who could not believe these children, and he was very surprised il bet , it was us, yes we know loads.
That is why we made sure our children never suffered , At the hands of any adult like we did, to learn our lessons, These lessons your child should know from a very early age and be truthful. Our children leanr`t other lessons , probably same as ours  , we just made sure we stopped any big problems when we could see.
