If I had to raise my child all over again,

                I will build the self esteem first and the house later.

                   I will finger paint more and point the finger less.

                   I would do less correcting and more connecting

I would take my eyes off the watch and watch with my eyes.

                 I would take more hikes and fly more kites.

                   I would stop playing serious and seriously play.

     I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.

                   I would do more hugging and less tugging.
