"I have come to a frightening conclusion. I am the decisive element in the home. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. As a mother I possess trememndous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated, and a child humanized or dehumanized." Haim Ginott
I am always trying to be better at this...one of my favorite quotes. I say I am the C.E.O. of this family, but Warren says I am more like an Administrative Assistant. Whatever I am, I know that my babies need me to be my best for them.
