How quickly childred learn and understand things, always amazes me. Having 3 kids 4 years apart you forget as the get older how babies can understand so much. My 17 mth old I can tell her things and she can say yes or no or she points to things, they are able to express themselves so much without any words, it's amazing.

With my older kids I can tell them something or they ask a question, I find that they are understanding fully what the consequences or why we do certain things, whether it's a rule or an action and they can apply it to their own situations. It makes me happy to influence them and it's not a power struggle and they are learning and growing and they want to know.

I love getting Valentines cards a week early, like I did today. :-))

Kids want respect and they should be given it without them giving it to you first. They are not just kids, they are people and individuals, they learn from us.
