Words Of Peace

I think often children deserve a lot more than we give them. Maybe I am biased concidering a lot of the things I had and didn't have when I was a child. Things that impact me to this day. I believe that kids deserve our time and attention. I think they deserve to have consistent lives with a parent. Consistency and order. Bedrooms and driveways, and caldasacs. A parent there to pick them up from school when it's raining, or not. I think they deserve to be fussed over and have tears shed when they leave to preschool or kindergarten. It's their right to be cared about at that level. They deserve to have parents who are paranoid and take them to the doctor over bug bites or whatever eles the parent is unsure of. They deserve ellaborate birthday parties, treats, and ice cream for no reason. Home cooked meals. They don't deserve to passed around and forced to go places they aren't comforable. They should be told they are loved and that they are good constantly because they are, even if they aren't. They shouldn't be put before work, before tasks, or before others. It's the one time in their lives they get to be put first. It's the foundation of their existence, their self esteem and self worth. I believe I am lucky to be surrounded by friends that are SUCH good moms and examples. That make huge deals out of what preschool, what their Halloween costume is going to be and how big their birthday parties are. Some people think it's silly, but I think they deserve it. I love seeing people blogs and seeing girls fuss about their kids. I think everyone wants to be loved and fussed over, especially children. Am I perfect at this? Basically. But one can always strive for more perfection :-) Joke
