Positive reinforcement, that's my motto. Clear limits, for young children,as many as the child is old, until five. Spoken by a kindergarten teacher. Your poem should hang in homes where children live or in classrooms I think. It's such a good one and well put.

That's one thing I've learnt and I'll sure use it on my kids. Always encourage, never compare. Lovely written Wolf.

Also, verbal abuse is deleterious. Gentle boundaries are a must.

Right you are. Abuse is deadly for youngsters. Thanks, Hilda. :) gw
