I COULD LIE

I could lie: 

I could lie and say I’m the perfect mother, that we never get upset with each other. 

I could say my house is clean every day and that I’m always there when you want to play. 

I could say that I always get enough sleep and at night you never make a peep. 

I could lie and say I always look good, with my make up and hair done like every wife should. 

I could say that you never cry or whine and that you are well behaved all the time. 

I could also say it’s a piece if cake, cleaning all the dirty nappies you make. 

These words are not true but yet there’s more, they are those true things that I adore. 

I adore your smiles when I read you a book and the fact that you think I’m the very best cook. 

I adore your tiny fingers and little tiny toes and your sweet little face, oh how it glows. 

I adore how excited you get when we play and how you want to just be with your mummy all day. 

I adore the smell of a fresh baby bath and the special times I can make you laugh. 

But most of all, the thing that’s most true is how much I really truely love you.

        Never grow up x

  Rewards and Punishment Let talk about rewards and punishments with children. Personally I stay away from rewards and punishments with my son. There any many factor to consider when choosing a way of parenting and Disciplinary tactics, what you believe and how you feel about it.  Popular culture would have many believe that there are two ways to influence human behvaiour – through the use of rewards or punishments. The lollie or the stick.  Generally speaking, most professionals in the early childhood education and care industry understand how inappropriate the use of punishments is with young children. There is widespread consensus that relying on spanking or “timeouts” is at best not effective, and at worst, harmful. Less well known is the ineffectiveness of rewards. Sometimes referred to as “positive reinforcements”, praise and rewards do not help children over the long term. Most adults use praise when interacting with young children.
