Do not correct a child without reminding him or her that
you love them – unconditionally!
Now I’m not exactly sure how to go about doing this, but for the smaller annoyances, I am going to work on speaking softly and gently and making sure I make eye contact with my children and smile.
On the more serious items, I want to make an effort to sit down with the child, make pleasant physical contact and ensure I remain calm and collected.
I can only love unconditionally if I put the interests of my child above my own.
