Good morning everyone. Hope you have been enjoying the great

summer weather. I thought you might enjoy this article on seperation anxiety that I came across. This is something that all of us go through with new children when they start. It might be useful to print off and give to the parents when they sign on with you.

Have a great day.

If I had my child to raise all over again,

I'd build self esteem first and the house later.

I'd finger paint more and point the finger less.

I would do less correcting and more connecting.

I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes.

I would care to know less and know to care more.

I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.

I'd stop playing seriously and seriously play.

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

I'd do more hugging and less nagging.

I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often.

I would be firm less often and affirm much more.

I'd model less about the love of power...

And more about the power of love."
