Consistent Parenting They say what children need most is consistency. Truly, it's easy. I can always count on them to create: Laundry; always piling up. Then I just add more, as I consistently refill their bottomless drawer. Dishes; constantly they make. But, really, I'm to blame, for consistently filling their plate. Clutter; constantly in the way, but, alas I am the one who consistently encouraged them to play. Arguments; constantly they've something to say, consistently I listen to them, though I don't debate. Interruptions; constantly they come to me, and when in need of hugs, consistently I'll be free. Constantly daunted by this task of raising three whole people, who are learning how to one day, live without me. Consistent Parenting will show, in their confidence and kindness. While their happy smiles make it all worthwhile, helping my babies grow.
