"Silence isn't empty, it's full of answers."

Greetings!
"A hug is healing power without words... Sometimes silence, understanding, patience, &
a gentle touch is the best communication."
Talk less, hug more. The less you say the more your child thinks. The more they think the faster their brain heals. The faster their brain heals the sooner you will have a child that you actually enjoy being with and who gives back to the family!
So stop talking. Rest your voice and exercise your arms.
Enjoy!
With love,

When you want to...
-Ask you child why they dumped their food on the floor... don't talk, just hug.
-Give your child the pros and cons of working hard... don't talk, just hug.
-Give your child pointers on their brain shifter... don't talk, just hug.
-Tell your child that if they hurry up they'll get to play... don't talk, just hug.
-Reason with your child that you don't hate them... don't talk, just hug.
-Tell them to do what you said Or Else... don't talk, just hug.

When you feel frustrated, angry, upset, hurt, sad, helpless...
don't talk, just hug.

To be able to give all of these hugs, you have to
get hugs. Real, love-filled hugs (not the fake ones from your small RADish). Your hug tank has to be filled up, so get hugs from healthy family members, friends, extended family, and fellow church-goers. If they don't give you a hug - give them one! They will return it filled with love for you!
Keep yourself emotionally full and tranquil. Take care of yourself. A worn out love tank can't hold what you need to heal your child.

Download this PDF (click the image), parents, and spend 15 minutes with your feet up filling it out.
Do it after the kids are in bed, while they're in school, or when they are in respite so you can focus on your answers. Don't rush through it, but take time to think about each answer and relax.
Write down what comes to mind and share it with the people on your support team. They need to know how to help you in the best way possible to get you filled up again.
Print out the last page (pg. 7) and stick it up on your fridge. You never know, a tiny person may wander by and get an idea from it...

If there are two parents in the home, each of you fill it out and trade papers with the other. Keep each other filled up!

I love you!

“Wishing you a sweet, quiet, gross-out-free Mother's Day!” (I found that saying online - you think they might have a RADish in their house? :) )
