If you're using most of your energy to do stuff for your kids, then you'll have that much less energy to just be there for them.
Kids will remember less what we did for them and more how we spoke and reacted to them.
We can easily teach our kids hot to be kind, compassionate and respectful when we are kind, compassionate and respectful to them.
The soul mate we marry can become an "ex," but the soul mates we have in our children will be ours forever, until the end of our life.
We are our own children's "perfect" parents, and within us lie all the simple, yet profound qualities of inner perfection.
We honor our kids most when, while we guide or discipline them, we give them this gift of unconditional love by accepting them and respecting them for who they are, first and foremost.
Listening to our kids with an open heart & mind is the strongest way to build a relationship with them - especially when they're wrong.
