Parenting Thought of the Day for August 1, 2007

Allow your child freedom.

Children need rules, but they also need to be allowed to be free and express themselves.
Let them play alone in their rooms. Let them play without your interrruptions.
Check on them without disturbing their play.

Give them crafts and other tools to express themselves.
Let them have an imagination. Do not interrupt their play and suggest they do something else.
Children need to be free to express themselves without interrruption.

By holding back their freedom and creativity, this may hinder their life path.

Allow your children to be free.
