Be a Joyful Parent

"Parents are competing with many others in an open contest for the position of role model.  Children will seek to be like the person who most attracts them.  Parents cannot demand respect or admiration.  If it is not freely given, it doesn't exist.  Joy attracts everyone."  Taken from To Train Up a Child by Michael and Debi Pearl

Whaaaaat??????  Is there something on my face?

What a cute picture.

I especially like M.Pearls dvd The Joy of Child Training. He did a great job on it. Have you seen it?

Just wanted to say thank you for this reminder! I had read it a couple days ago but didn't take the time to reply. Yesterday I made it a point to be a fun, joyful, even called "crazy" mother as I chased the children around the yard with dd's riding crop (don't worry....I didn't smack them....not hard anyway.....t'was all in fun) LOL! I was teasing the older two and my 3yo even asked me to get her! LOL! Laughs were abundant and the mood was instantly light. Spontaneous joy.....what could beat that?! Thanks again Charity =D
