"Listening" to Your Limits

I usually don’t know what will strike me enough to write about it until the post starts coming out on paper. Apparently, the listening theme I started this week is still speaking to me – and I’m listening! (ha ha, I know, that was bad) – so I’ve decided to continue with it today.

The idea of “listening” to our limits is not a new one. In fact, this is something that busy parents (and others too) grapple with on a regular basis.

So, what does it mean to listen to our limits?

Anna goes & goes until her limits catch up with her!

The Power of Words

"Do as I say."  "Are you listening to me?"  "Pay attention!" "Watch your mouth!"

The power of words is undeniable.  They open doors for us, and sometimes close them too. They are our way of reaching out to others and connecting with them.  Whether we use that power for good, or not-so-good, is up to us.

But nobody is more deeply affected by our words, for better or for worse, than our children.
