There is no text book explaining precisely how to do my job. No person training me until I am competent. Only countless books of theories by strangers who "know best" how to RAISE A CHILD. I wish there was an intense 9 month training course one could take while pregnant on how to raise a child. But unfortunately, I will have to do this by trial and error.
A few things I have learned are:
1. Each child is SO different.
2. The teacher learns more than the student.
3. Patience is a virture (that I must pray for every day).
4. Listen.
I have countless lessons yet to learn.
This is our family in April. Tim and me. Austin - 8, Gavin - 2, Layla - 6 months.
