Children Don'T Come With Manuals

Children will generally meet your expectations Especially when they feel loved and accepted, When feelings are factored into many situations When with their parents they feel connected. They certainly deserve a cogent explanation, Without anger and threats being interjected, As to why their parents expect a cessation Of the type of unacceptable behavior detected. written June 28, 2021

I will be printing this on T-shirts "Without anger and threats being interjected," Because so many have no idea how important this is!

I know what you mean, Caren. I like what Terry said below, too...no "pause buttons"

Wise words indeed, Milt, but might I add these words to your title... ‘Or Pause Buttons.’ ;-) Terry
