This quote came up on my facebook today:
The lash of the tongue on the heart of a child can have devastating and lasting consequences. Choose your words wisely to sow words of peace, words that build, words that show respect and belief and support. These are seeds of a future filled with hope.
It's a reminder to act like the grown-up.
Like in that split second after The Toddler knocks a full litre of water on to the floor and you have the time to decide whether to just clean it or to stamp your feet on the spot and yell 'no no nononononononnooooooooooo!' (at the day, not at the child!) like a baby, it's best to be the adult.
At least I got it out of my system.
