Happy Child

My granddaughter and great grandson recently came for an all day visit. I was struck by the conscientious way this happy little toddler was cared for, so I took the opportunity to acknowledge the young mother's efforts. A small gesture on my part made a huge impact on this tired young woman. With a beaming countenance, she spent the entire day joyfully sharing her son with us.
Any parent knows that raising a child has challenges. If you are looking for a book with practical ideas on raising a happy child consider What All Children Want Their Parents to Know by Diana Loomans.

I agree! We often forget how tired we were when we were parents of young ones. And how good a little commendation feels.
