A Mother’s Love

A mother’s love is something
That no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion
And of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish
And enduring come what may
For nothing can destroy it
Or take that love away…

It is patient and forgiving
When all others are forsaking.
And it never fails or falters
Even though the heart is breaking…

It believes beyond believing
When the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty
Of the rarest, brightest gems…

It is far beyond defining.
It defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret
Like the mysteries of Creation…

A many splendored miracle
Man cannot understand
And another wondrous evidence
of God’s tender guiding hand.

Brilliant answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions!!

Why did God make mothers?

She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.

To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?

Magic plus super powers, and a lot of stirring.

Mean Parents
Author Unknown

I loved you enough... to ask where you were going, with whom, and what time you would be home.
I loved you enough... to insist that you save your money and buy a bike for yourself even though we could afford to buy one for you.
I loved you enough... to be silent and let you discover that your new best friend was a creep.
I loved you enough... to make you go pay for the bubble gum you had taken and tell the clerk, "I stole this yesterday and want to pay for it."
I loved you enough... to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes.

I loved you enough... to let you see anger, disappointment, and tears in my eyes. Children must learn that their parents aren't perfect.
I loved you enough... to let you assume the responsibility for your actions even when the penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.

But most of all, I loved you enough... to say NO when I knew you would hate me for it.

Anger rating
out of 10

Action

DON’T TOUCH your child. Just go outside for a walk and say ‘Hi’ to anyone, even a dog will do, to break the pain cycle

TAKE your child in the car or go for a walk to visit friends, favourite shops or a favourite neighbour. Or just keep driving (if you’re not dangerously angry) till you feel better

WRITE out your ideas and share them, because you’re ahead of the rest of use!

Remember, your child will be all right if you’re all right, so look after yourself first.

How to Punish your Child Effectively

The 10 rules of effective punishment - without raising your hand or your voice

Below are 10 ways to punish effectively, without raising your hand or your voice.

Aim your punishment at the action

Make it logical - if they can’t be home at the time they promised then they’re not ready for the freedom of unsupervised time.

Make it sensible - a list of jobs on the fridge might save some silly punishment when you’re angry and help your workload too.

Make it private - public punishment hits the ego not the action and they’ll hit back to save face.

reasonable

consistent

respectful

acceptable

noticeable

inescapable

Preferred social rewards and punishment by age

12 Steps to Raising a Juvenile Delinquent

Tue, 18 Dec 2007 04:23:00 GMT

clipped by: skwirlinator
clipper's remarks: Satisfy his every craving for food, drink, and comfort. See that his every sensual desire is gratified.

Let him read any printed material, and listen to any music he can get his hands on. Be careful that the silverware and drinking glasses are sterilized, but let his mind feast on garbage.

When he gets into real trouble, apologize to yourself by saying, "I could never do anything with him."

Prepare for a life of grief. You will likely have it.

Clip Source: www.av1611.org

Begin with infancy to give the child everything he wants. In this way he will grow up to believe the world owes him a living.

When he picks up bad words, laugh at him. This will make him think he’s cute.

Never give him any spiritual training. Wait until he is twenty-one and then let "him decide for himself".

Avoid the use of "wrong". He may develop a guilt complex. This will condition him to believe later, when he is arrested, that society is against him and he is being persecuted.

Pick up everything he leaves lying around. Do everything for him so that he will be experienced in throwing all responsibility on others.

Take his part against neighbors, teachers, and policemen. They are all prejudiced against your child.

Quarrel frequently in the presence of your children. In this way they won’t be so shocked when the home is broken up later.

Give the child all the spending money he wants. Never let him earn his own.
