You won't be able to find our website from 1 April while we put the business on hold while we are overseas with my husband's job for awhile and have baby number 3. A new improved site is potentially in the pipeline in a year or two. Thank you for your business and support over the last few years!

5 Life Lessons From Dr. Seuss - Power of Positivity

Walk a Little Slower, Daddy

“Walk a little slower Daddy” said a child so small,
“I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they’re hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.

Someday when I’m all grown up,
You’re what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who’ll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true,
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you.”

The book comes highly recommended in case anyone likes the look of it!

The author is a psychotherapist who led groups of mothers for over 20 years, with the implicit rule that mothers were not to give each other advice. This seems to be the quality of her book that mothers most praise: "I decided that, in ‘What Mothers Do’, I myself wouldn't
tell mothers what to do either. I would simply describe what I thought mothers really were doing. This is very unusual. I don't think there are any other books for mothers and about mothering which refrain from giving advice."
