I knew when I wrote my previous post that I had left out some of the lessons I wanted to mention. Give me a month and my brain catches up (there's a lesson right there). So here are a couple more things I've learnt (or mantra's I try to hold on to) on my amble through parenthood so far:
- Tell them what you're about to do in advance, (don't spring it on them while they are in the middle of something). This gives them time to prepare themselves, and therefore learn.
- They learn FAST. You may think they're not listening or absorbing, but they ARE.
- Your job as a parent is to prepare them for the next stage in their life.
- Good old fashioned sunshine bleaches almost any stain out of laundry.
- And most children's books end in a good sleep...
