Lessons You Learned From Children

Help, loyalty, honesty and fixing things

I grew up an only child and never knew what I was missing not having a brother or sister. I have a 14-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old son. They have taught me so much. When they were little and my boy started walking, my daughter looked out for him. She would grab him by the collar and drag him out of trouble, or pull him to where he was supposed to be. So, lesson number one: Family looks out for each other.

I learned that the best gift is time spent together. Lesson number two: Spend time together.

Another thing is that Mom is the glue that holds it all together. When everything falls apart, Mom can fix it—and if she can’t, Dad can.

You can tell Mom anything, ask her anything, and she’ll tell you the truth.

These are just a few of the lessons that my children teach me and continue to teach me everyday.
