Disciplining Difficulties

If you ask me whats the most difficult thing in disciplining a child.. I would say.. to discipline yourself!
Truly... action speaks louder than words!
of course.. words play an important role too.
came across this article in a magazine here in Perth and thought that i should share  it here as a reminder for all of us...

LITTLE EARS ARE LISTENING

Guard your lips when a child is near

for children repeat the things they hear.

Let no ugly tone be heard, no careless talk, no careless word.

For it is grievous sin to mar the innocent within

Language vulgar or unkind,

leave its mark upon the mind

Little ears are listening

Little ears catch everything!

control your feelings, check your tongue

in the presence of the  young,

for  a child is sent to you

as fresh and pure as morning dew.

So let your speech be wise and mild. 

 In the hearing of the child.
