What do you enjoy most about your child?
Someone recently asked me what I enjoy most about my child and after great thought,this is what I came up…
The fact that he never gives up.No matter how tough the task at hand is,he’ll keep trying and trying until he gets it right–even if he has to ask for help.His smile when he accomplishes something or learns something new.The way his face lights up when he smiles and the way he raises his hard to give a “high five”.The fact that he loves books/reading.The fact that he’ll hug and kiss you for no reason at all.
I ran out of space at that point but I learned a huge lesson from writing about my son.I’m always complaining about this and that..”he wont listen”,”he threw a tantrum today”,he did this and that and they are all not exactly positive things despite the fact that I know for sure I have a very smart and intelligent son so having to write what I enjoy about him was a great eye opener for me!I now make it a point to say something positive about my little dude.Okay,maybe I’ll complain when he throws a tantrum and acts up but I’ll always add “you know last night,he read half a book all by himself”.I’m learning to balance the positive and negative.Not an easy task but I’m trying and along the way,I’m realising my son is really a little angel even on his “off days”…and I’m totally nuts about him.
