Hi, I wanted to write you both a letter to go over a few things so that you both know what to expect a little more. I know some of it is common sense, but I just wanted to write it all out to give everyone a bit more peace of mind.
Our boys can be a bit picky when it comes to food. Encourage them to eat healthy and to eat what they are given. If they don't eat what is given, they go hungry for the time being. If they refuse their food all day, do not let them go to bed hungry. They absolutely need to eat something before going to bed, period. Some ideas for sure-bets as far as food goes are as follows: They both love grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (they usually want them cut in half, diagonally), pancakes, waffles, bananas, …show more content…

If they are leaving the house, they need to clean up before going out. Please use a washrag to wipe off their hands, or help them wash their hands. I don't want them to look like feral heathen kids. Encourage them to clean up after themselves, help out, and get involved. They love attention and love feeling needed or like they have helped. You will need to clean their glasses for them often. They are expected to treat others with respect, including one another. If there are any pets around, please remind them to be careful around them. If any pets are aggressive towards our boys, our boys should be told to leave the pet(s) alone, or the pet(s) should be put away in a separate room. Our boys are not allowed to fight (hitting, kicking). If either engages this behavior, it is an automatic time out. When eating a meal, they should be sitting at a table (not necessarily snacking). Judah and Isaac can especially be a handful in public. You will need to hold their hand or put them in a shopping cart while out and about. We are working on helping them to realize they can't always have their way. Regardless of it all, they are children, they will be kids, and that's okay! It's also okay for them to cry, but it is not okay for them throw a temper-tantrum. I do not want our boys growing up to be brats. …show more content…

Please also remind others. They are only allowed to watch shows or movies or play / watch games that are child oriented or rated G. Judah can sometimes watch PG. They are absolutely not allowed to watch anything with violence or swearing. It is important to monitor anything they watch on YouTube because things often seem to be kid-friendly and aren't. The word they know for penis is “pee-pee”, vagina is “wee-wee”, breasts are “boobies”. I don't mind if they say butt or crap, but no actual swear words. Please don't listen to music with swearing or inappropriate themes in their presence.
Hannah, please love and care for our children as your own. Feel free to say “I love you” and give them hugs and kisses. It is my opinion that caring for children comes more natural to women, so don't be afraid to step in and help and offer Seth womenly input, advise. I will want to meet you in person to look you in the eye before turning over my children to your care, and I hope you both understand that and don't have any issues with the idea. I hope you and Seth can help each other to be happy, and I wish you the best.
Seth, you need to stay with our boys at all times. I would love if Rant was informed that our boys are visiting. I would love for her to see them in addition to your

    I snatch a few moments this morning to write, and first of all will express my gratitude for your interesting & thrice welcome letter. I am very glad that you have made our Fairfield friends such a good visit. O! that I could have been with you, but I suppose you thought of your absent Sister. Sometimes, as I allow my thoughts to wander homeward, I sigh to be with loved ones again. The affections of my heart for my dear friends are so strong that it is exceedingly difficult to discipline myself to a separation even for a little time.

  • Classroom Professionalism

    1018 Words  | 3 Pages

    There are many key components to shaping a young child 's life and could be better implemented through professionalism. I like to reflect back to the “Children See Children Do” video, which clearly proves children imitate/learn verbal and nonverbal cues from adults. As a teacher, it is necessary to be the best version of yourself everyday, in order to pass those actions along. This not only affects a child 's ethics but it also generates better behavior which affects the parents lives in a more positive way outside of the classroom. This module has taught me many different techniques when working with a misbehaved child. For instance, I plan to use self awareness in my classroom to keep a positive tone and eliminate poor body language. I will also use breathing methods for children as well as myself to establish a well-rounded classroom. Professionalism is such an important role in shaping our young child 's lives and it deserves to be stressed more which will in turn create a better learning

  • Facing A Life Changing Ethical Dilemma Case Study

    However, what I have found over the past two and a half years is that their father is a good provider, but he spends most of his time at work or with others away from home. While he is away, his wife has more one on one with our children than he does. In my dilemma, they should be with me in his absence, what should I do? Yes, I am faced with the facts that I cannot afford the same luxuries as their father can at this present time, but I provide them with everything the need, plus tender, love and care. If I was as confident now as I should have been back in 2010, this custody battle would be mine without any questions asked. Now that I have the understanding of how important it is for quality of life, and the impacts it has, why would I take them out of high living, into poverty living? Is it the right thing to do? Or should I wait until they are older and explain to them that this was the best thing for them once again at the time (short term) or later as for (long

So I believe it is about time that I accept that my parents are gone and this house that we all lived in as a family is the only memory I have left. And selling it is just me just running away from my past. I think it would be a good idea to get someone come in and take a look at the house to see what structural damage is her and what can be done to fix it. I think I could raise a family here and pass these memories to my kids. I should call Mark and pass my ideas to him; I think he would like what I have in mind. I feel so excited, for once I am thinking something that makes sense. Keeping my parents memories alive. They would have been so happy
