Anybody
who spends some time with young children quickly realizes that they
are entering a world of magic. Childhood
is a time for exploring and making sense of the world. It's a time to
ask
important questions that usually begin with "why" and end with "but
why," and a time of creating friendships and socializing with our
peers. Most importantly, it's a time when children leap back and forth
between reality and their
imagination. Help
your child have a great childhood by taking theT.I.M.E.
Think - Influential - Meaningful
- Experiences
What does
it mean? You
have the ability to turn any ordinary moment in your child's life to a
Meaningful Experience! The
power is in your hands and all you need to do is Think of how to be
Influential.
What is a
meaningful experience? Think
about your childhood memories; some might be good while others may not
be so great. Those experiences shaped you into the adult you
are
today and the collected memories create your overall feeling
about your childhood. Now,
as adults, our goal is to raise children that will grow up with the
feeling that they are unique individuals who are loved, supported, and
cared for. Remember the memories we are creating with our
children today will carry them into their adulthood.
Too
often we simply go through the motions as we rush through our busy
days: Morning routine, eat your breakfast, brush your teeth, off to
school, pick up after school, dinner, bath, story and go to bed!
Here
is a little funny song about it:
The
good news is:
It is
not the quantity of time that you spend with your child but the quality
of T.I.M.E.
I
find this song much more appropriate - it touched an emotional chord in
my heart.
Do
not let those precious moments slip away any longer.
