A CHILD'S MIND

Your child's mind is unstoppable,
it has no fences, rules or barriers,
it knows no limitations or boundaries.

Don’t trap him in a cage,
each time you cut his wings,
he’s losing faith and self-esteem.

Don’t tell him he was not born to fly,
encourage him, provide the props
to build his wings, be the air beneath them.

Don’t kill his dreams and hopes,
that things will get better, that he’d
find his own way to deal with life and sorrow.

A child’s mind is filled with love,
absorbing as a sponge whatever flows or spills
from you. Show love not respect, that will come after.

A child's mind is the first poem from Tales of a moody heart, my latest poetry collection. This poem talks about how a parent's affection can shape a child's chance to happiness in life. When you spend more time teaching love than teaching rules, you ensure your child develops a great array of skills.

If you want to earn the respect of your child, you need to respect him and his opinions, show consistency in your acts, listen to their needs and respond with care.

You want him (or them) to obey you out of love, not fear! You want to foster a safe environment where he can feel comfortable to tell you about his mistakes and fears.
