Full Description
Sometimes Mommy worries,
and sometimes Mommy is emotional,
Sometimes Mommy feels sad,
and sometimes Mommy feels satisfied.
When Avi doesn't listen to her she feels angry,
and when he calms Tammy she feels happy.
When something hurts Avi Mommy is sympathetic,
when Avi fights with Tammy Mommy may feel disappointed
but Mommy always, always loves.
The most significant influence on the development of a child is his
relationship with his parents. The stronger the relationship, the more
likely it is that the lessons that the parents impart to the child will
be accepted.
A strong relationship between two people requires
communication. This includes awareness, expression and perception of
one another's feelings. When a parent conveys a feeling that is not
expressed sufficiently, or when a child does not perceive a feeling
correctly, the wrong message may be received. Worry can translate into
anger, anger can seem to be rejection, indecision may appear as
weakness, emotion as sadness, etc.
Stories Straight from Mommy's Heart
opens a window into the hearts of mothers (as well as fathers). These
stories will help parents teach their children the language of
feelings, resulting in clearer expression, sharper perception, and
enhanced communication.
