Be Patient With Children

This is something I've realized more fully now that I look back on my years as a younger mother....I would be more patient....I would take more time to sit with and listen to - I mean really listen to - my children. 

Oh yes, I loved them. I shared my days with them. I cared for them and protected them fiercely as a mother bear does her cubs. But, in looking back, I recognize that there was room for improvement!
