Teach the Little Ones

I stood at the gate and heard their screaming as I walked up the drive children left to yell the proverbial hell, adult torment and live's yet how do you make life better how do you make life fun the dreams lie within you it's games you need to play Timmy walked around the house with a hammer hitting the fridge I asked "why why do you give him the hammer" "because he likes it" With dispair can't you see the danger other children's heads just because the child like's it dosen't mean it's right I would play with my son threaten to put him into the bath threaten to put him into the wardrob laughter became the game I would not give him a hammer just because he liked it I gave him a cricket bat and taught him to hit the ball I gave him lessons and taught him to catch the ball I read to him and taught him to read I allowed him to to try different clubs like wrestling and scouts and with it all I joked and played teaching him to enjoy It's not so hard to enjoy bringing up kid's all you need to learn is be an adult set the rules and teach then to find the joy of life.
