"If I had my child to raise all over again,
I'd build self esteem first and the house later.
I'd finger paint more and point the finger less.
I would do less correcting and more connecting.
I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes.
I would care to know less and know to care more.
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.
I'd stop playing seriously and seriously play.
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.
I'd do more hugging and less nagging.
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often.
I would be firm less often and affirm much more.
I'd model less about the love of power...And more about the power of love." Diane Loomans

While I agree that it is good to stop and smell the roses, I also think it is a mother's duty to instill responsibility and discipline into her children. As hard as it is to find... a good balance between both is best! I know you will do fine!
