Poem
I wonder how many books there are out there that teach you how to raise your child? I'm sure there are good ideas in them, but where was the book for raising each of my children? They didn't have one attached to them as they were born. Nobody delivered a specific manual on my particular child ahead of time. Did you get one? Perhaps one of these days they will create a baby scanner. So when your child is born...you just scan their bar code and up pops instructions. Until then...I guess we need to remember that each child is an individual. Given that fact...can you imagine how large a book would need to be to cover each child in the world? By the time you'd finish reading it...your child would be reading one on how to care for the elderly( meaning you and me). I have found there are no set rules or ideas that work every time or with every child. One gift you can give any child is the tools to choose wisely in what ever comes their way. Also they need to be treated with love and patience. Spend time with them. Listen to what they have to say. Children need to know as well as feel they have value. I bet in years to come...they will cherish those times. If they don't...that's okay too. You tried your best and that makes you a winner no matter what! P.R.Deremer
