This is my first post.  I want to share my thughts about young children and how parents can teach their child while having fun.  My first thought is about the decision to have a child.  Many people want to have children but don't realize what it involves. It is a LIFETIME commitment.  All I can say about this is think about what you are getting into and if you are not sure; don't commit.  From the moment you become pregnant your life starts to subtly change.  I am totally prochoice and belive that if you are not ready to have a child the choice should be yours.  I have worked with many children over the years and have seen the results of when a child is not truly wanted.  Enough about that.  I think there are three key words in raising a child encourage them, love them and support them.  Most of my blog will involve ideas for preschool children.  I hope you will enjoy reading it.  What's your child doing right now?  Go give them a hug!! Unitl next time...
