A Reminder to Teachers to Think Before We Speak

I recently read a blog post entitled "The Bully Too Close to Home" by Handsfreemama. While reading the post I was reminded that often when we, as teachers/parents/guardians, are busy, overwhelmed, overscheduled and frustrated we may not appreciate the spirit of the children in our lives. It is easy to snap at a child when your head is someplace else. It is easy to snap at a child when you think they should already know what they are supposed to be doing and how to do it. My challenge to parents and teachers is to take this woman's message to heart and "Only Love." Remember that how we speak to children is how they will speak to themselves.
