Sleep Soundly

No matter the parenting style adopted, I believe all parents should watch their children sleep, if only for an instance a day.

There is something so peaceful, so cleansing, so perfect about a sleeping child. It instantly a washes away all sorrow and frustration. It makes your anguish subside.

Watching your sleeping child connects you to the Miracle Of Life you have made possible and chases Negative Parental Thoughts Away.

Try it.

  1. Oh yes, a sleeping child is wonderful. Every night when I go to bed I inhale my two year old's delicious scent and just look at him in wonder and awe.

  2. so, so true. I can be on the brink of insanity with frustration with my almost-3 year old, but watching him for a while after he finally falls asleep just takes all of that anger away. Sometimes the days feel like a battle from beginning until end, and watching them sleep makes you realise again just how small, vulnerable and special they are.
