Here is a list of the top ten things students around the world said they remembered and loved most about their mothers. WOW, just WOW! Can you imagine, being able to have a list of things that you KNEW would make a positive impact on your kids and their childhood memories? Yes please!
The following list has been incorporated into my daily, and I am happy to say some of these things have been my parenting sanity thru these years. I linked through to my blog pages on things we do already. . .
Happy Reading! Happy Changes!!
- Come into my bedroom at night, tuck me in and sing me a song. Also tell me stories about when you were little. (and when YOU were little...)
- Give me hugs and kisses and sit and talk with me privately. (yup, big one.)
- Spend quality time just with me, not with my brothers and sisters around.
- Give me nutritious food so I can grow up healthy.
- At dinner talk about what we could do together on the weekend.
- At night talk to me about about anything; love, school, family etc. (my older son and I talk EVERY NIGHT, I can't believe I haven't blogged about that yet!)
- Let me play outside a lot. (2 separate links.)
- Cuddle under a blanket and watch our favorite TV show together.
- Discipline me. It makes me feel like you care. (3 links, this is a big one for us.)
- Leave special messages in my desk or lunch bag.
