'Time in' better than 'time out'?

This year my focus is family first. Being a woman who is running several business while working part-time, parenting presents its own challenges. Everyone has a different opinion. When it comes to parenting, we often learn by trial and error but I'm not sure we have time for that because before we know it, the childhood of our children will come to an abrupt end. FOr whatever it is worth I am sharing this and am going to try it. http://www.ahaparenting.com/_blog/Parenting_Blog/post/How_To_Transform_Your_Time-Outs_To_Time-Ins/

I Wish (anonymous)

The room is neat, without a sound And lonely as I look around Remembering yet another day You wanted me to stop and play. But I was busy, with things to do I didn’t have much time for you Or the verse you wanted me to hear. And my reply was, “Later, Dear.” My days were full of busy tasks No time for questions that you asked. You wanted to share the things you’d learned But when you looked, my back was turned. The years rush by; I wished I’d known That you would be so quickly grown. No longer holding out to me The need I was too rushed to see And now the toys are put away We’ve no more songs or games to play No good night kiss or stories to hear That’s all a part of another year. I wish I could go back again Relive those years as they might have been. And the little things you asked me to do I wish I’d made more time for you.

My Child

My child isn't my easel to paint, Nor my diamond to polish! My child isn't my trophy to flaunt, Nor my dummy to taunt! My child isn't my badge or my honour, Nor my respect that he must protect! My child isn't an idea or a fantasy, Nor my reflection or legacy! My child isn't my puppet or my project, Nor my pawn or my cadet! ****************** My child is here to fumble & stumble To get in & out of trouble! My child is here to try,To fall & to cry! My child is here to unravel the mysteries, To educate oneself & rewrite histories! My child is here to make his own choices, To exercise his freewill & experience the consequences! As a Parent,My task is to make my child able & capable, To keep aside my ego & be by hisr side! My task is to guide & educate, To let be & not frustrate! My task is allow him to ponder, And see my child grow into a Wonder! source: Annonymous

Did I mention Haroon turned four?

Yeah that always happens with the 2nd kiddo.

Haroon: "because the cars are having a traffic jam" 
Me: sigh
