Listen

My tip today is to listen to your kids. Often we want to react or respond but what they want is for us to listen. We may not always agree. We may want to offer our opinions, but just as we want others to listen to us, we in turn need to listen to our kids.

Quotable Sunday

Toni at A Daily Dose of Toni hosts Quotable Sunday each Sunday.

Today, I wanted to offer some quotes by various authors about reading:

Books, I found, had the power to make time
stand still, retreat or fly into the future.
~ Jim Bishop ~

Good children's literature appeals not only to
the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child.
~ Anonymous ~

Books had instant replay long before televised sports.
~ Bert Williams ~

Aloha Friday #19

Each Friday, Kailani, over at http://www.islandlife808.com/ hosts a wonderful meme called Aloha Friday. It's the end of the week, a chance to relax and get ready for the weekend. To celebrate Aloha Friday, you ask a question and answer others' questions.

My question for this week:

Does your child like to read? If your child is too young to read, what about when you were young, did you enjoy reading?

I don't think I enjoyed reading until I was out of high school actually. And then I began loving it and still do.
