One day I was at
Lakeshore Learning Center picking up something, when I ran across one those classroom posters that are meant to guide kids in the right direction. I bought it since I am a fan of such things. Also, my household has 2 parents and 3 kids that can use a gentle reminder occasionally. Well the poster was considered too large for the fridge door, so I put it in
powerpoint, tweaked the sayings slightly and posted a couple 8 1/2 X 11's around the house.
It is amazing how simple and common sense these guidelines are, however I often find that people forget them. This includes adults that should know better, and the kids that are
learning by watching their adult role models.
Anything I should improve on the list???
Shouldn't this be labeled things I learned at my mother's knee? I agree though, these are great reminders though.
ReplyDeleteA thought I posted on the doors of my daughters rooms reads,
If you want to make a better world, start by keeping your own little corner clean.
A personal reminder reads, "in all things act don't react". Thanks for sharing.
Things would be much simpler if all kids learned this at their Mother's knee.
ReplyDeleteI once thought of putting the following tatoo on my inner forearm as a reminder when my mouth got the better of my ears.
1. Seek to Understand
2. Seek to be Understood
