...the children are our future...

...i believe the children are our future...
...teach them well and let them lead the way...

...show them all the beauty they possess inside...

...teach them a sense of pride...

...to make it easier...

...let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be...

..an oldie but a goodie...
...whitney definitely worded that verse perfectly!

...as most of you know i am currently working counselling kids...

...its such an amazing privilege to be part of an incredible organisation that helps so many children who are suffering awful losses...

...each day i hear heart breaking stories and witness the amazing courage in these little people...

...it has given me the opportunity to once again solidify my belief that our children are OUR future! these kids were not asked to be bought into the world and now they are here...it is OUR responsibility as parents...aunties/uncles...teachers...carers and counsellors to HELP them develop the skills to become the best people they can be...

...we need to assist them in finding the ways to be strong independent individuals that are not afraid to experience their feelings and the appropriate ways to deal with the losses that will inevitably come there way...

...we as adults need to encourage them and show them ALL the beauty they possess inside...

...to be proud of their accomplishments and who they are...

...we do not need to put OUR adult 'issues' on them nor blame them or involve them in our 'stuff'...

..let's help our children to be confident...caring...loving...genuine people... that will grow up to be well adjusted adults in touch with their feelings and accepting of others...

...our children...our future...
