Teach them correct principles and let them govern themselves. They are equipped to handle these decisions because they are prepared to be on the earth during this wicked time.<br /><br />"Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they become discouraged." from Teaching of the Prophet Joseph Smith, p. 89.<br /><br />Create an atmosphere of love and acceptance, so your children know that they can come to you and that you will love them no matter what.<br /><br />Be gentle and kind when disciplining children. Try "Son, you let me down".Kerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03115110129246410599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499837891646582413.post-63485330769098162512010-09-12T21:21:00.000-07:002010-09-12T21:22:05.146-07:00Speaking of Black and WhiteThe grey begins somewhere.Kerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03115110129246410599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499837891646582413.post-18575847535676869152010-09-12T21:20:00.001-07:002010-09-12T21:21:40.389-07:00From my Wellesley Reunion 2009Quote from Madeline Albright:<br /><br />"We do not live on the island of adolescent dreams."Kerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03115110129246410599noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499837891646582413.post-60966166398289976892010-09-12T21:15:00.000-07:002010-09-12T21:20:24.123-07:00Inspired by EveningO Sky!<br />As twilight glides your way<br />You don liquid-silk gown<br />Spreading around you in<br />Cobalt, turquoise, hemmed in gold<br />Softly bejeweled by starlight<br />Slim crescent moon at your neck.<br /><br />Keri Hains Riker<br />May 26, 2009Kerihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03115110129246410599noreply@blogger.com0
