They donโt really come with a User Manual and at best of times it is frustrating that you are unable to understand your angel. Sometimes self-doubt creeps in and you wonder if you are doing the right thing. I have learnt that instinct is the best teacher and the rest are just rules.
I found this that I had copied from somewhere (I canโt even remember where) many years before I even had my own kids. It just seemed something wonderful and I found it again today after many years and I am so proud to say I have done almost everything on this list. Itโs not a rule list. Itโs just something nice to do with your kids, for your kids. Enjoyโฆ
