Whenever the child is given the notion that he needs to be entertained, learning comes almost to a halt.

Most of us would do more for our babies than we have ever been willing to do for anyone, even ourselves.

Awareness of having better things to do with their lives is the secret to immunizing our children against false values--whether presented on television or in "real life." The child who finds fulfillment in music or reading or cooking or swimming or writing or drawing is not as easily convinced that he needs recognition or power or some "high" to feel worthwhile.

Especially with our first child, we tend to take too much responsibility--both credit and blame--for everything. The more we wantto be good parents, the more we tend to see ourselves as making or breaking our children.

Whenever the child is given the notion that he needs to be entertained, learning comes almost to a halt.

If your children see that you are seeking, they will seek-the finding part is up to God.

The secret is to learn to sit at the feet of your own life and be taught by it.
