The document discusses the significance of parenting and the impact of a parent's presence and actions on a child's development. It emphasizes the importance of being a good role model and fostering a respectful and loving relationship with children. The key message is that children learn more from what they observe than from what they are taught explicitly.

1. Parenting is a stage of
life's journey where the
milestones come about
every fifty feet.
~Robert Brault

2. “Kids spell love
T-I-M-E.”
Your children need
your presence more
than your presents.

3.  “My father
didn’t tell me
how to live, he
lived, and let
me watch him
do it.”

4. “Don’t worry
that children
never listen to
you; worry that
they are always
watching you.”

5.  “If you want your
children to improve,
let them overhear the
nice things you say
about them to
others.”

6.  “Too often we give
children answers to
remember rather
than problems to
solve.”

7. Stop trying to perfect
your child, but keep
trying to perfect your
relationship with him

8.  “While we teach our
children about
life, they teach us
what life is all about

9.  Make suggestions
and offer choice
while dealing with a
problem

10.  Listen when your
children talk.
 Be a good listener

11. There is no point in being
grown up if you can't
be childish sometimes

12. It is better to bind your
children to you by a
feeling of respect and by
gentleness than by fear

13. When you teach your
son, you teach your
son's son.

14. A mother understands
what a child does not
say.

15. There is always a
moment in childhood
when the door opens
and lets the future in

16. When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you hang up my first
painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I
thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you make my favorite
cake for me, and I knew that little things are special things.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I
believed there is a God I could always talk to.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I felt you kiss me goodnight,
and I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw that you cared, and I
wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I LOOKED….and wanted to
say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn’t
looking.
