What is the best thing that you have learned from your child?

My daughter has taught me the value of being a peacekeeper, patience and diligence....I learned from my son the value of hard work; learned from my daughter proper behavior especially in the presence of other people...

Patience. My children remind me there is no hurry. I have to stand still and laugh sometimes when I am in a rush to meet a deadline. Also loyalty. My children learned that from me and it reflects everyday in all they do. We are a family unit. One learns from another.

What have I learned??? Oh wow! I have seven children so I have learned a load!!!! I could write a book! Zu and I should partner up and publish a book!!! I have learned: When they get very quiet and are not arguing...THEN you need to be worried! Make them sing Happy Birthday twice while washing hands before they can rinse...otherwise, there is no point in their washing. Water does NOT melt children...no matter how much some might protest. Water WILL wrinkle them when they refuse to get out and no they will not stay wrinkled no matter how much they cry about their sudden aging. Changing boy diaper...at some point you will walk away wet no matter how careful you are! Never assume that you got away without being spit-up on by the baby...because someone is going to point out the spot on your back you were NOT aware of! If you child has spent too much time in the bathroom, call a plumber...something is stuck and it is not the child. When the plumber comes out, do not be surprised he or she even finds a missing brush too! And no...you do NOT want it back! Oh! My favorite thing I have learned.... When introducing new foods....lie!!!! Tell the child that he or she really has tried it before and loved it...she or he just doesn't remember trying it and you promise that he or she will love it again! Shall I continue or get together with Zu and write a book? ha ha

The best thing that I have learned my kids is that they trust and love completely. No matter how inconsiderate I am at times they are still there waiting for my hug. No matter how busy I am for the things that I believe important to do, they are still willing to wait for my attention Sometimes I felt really bad of myself. So if I have nothing much to do, or the times that I spend for myself... I'd spend it with them... and Im so glad I do that.
