Behavior :-)

This will be short but, I wanted to share with everyone a quote that was presented to me this week.

If a child doesn't walk, we teach them.

If a child doesn't swim, we teach them.

If a child doesn't read, we teach them.

If a child doesn't behave, we......punish? (Wait, that doesn't make sense!!)

I LOVE this quote, I have ALWAYS felt this way but, I have never seen it so well written!!

We have to help our kiddos LEARN HOW TO BEHAVE.  Don't just stick your kid in the corner, help them, show them, make them do it again (the right way).  Stop punishing your kid all the time,  TEACH THEM!! 

TELL THEM WHAT THEY CAN DO, not just what they CAN'T do!
