GratefulI’m grateful for my children because they have taught me so many things….even things I didn’t want to learn. My youngest (my nine year old daughter that we adopted at age five) teaches me to not take life, or myself to seriously. She also teaches me about unconditional love and what that really means. My middle one (daughter age twelve, adopted at seven) teaches me empathy and forgiveness. My oldest (fifteen year old son, adopted at the age of eleven) teaches me compassion and patience. Sometimes I’m not a very good student but they’re always willing to give me another chance. Part of a group writing project at Mama Blogga. Related Posts: 6 CommentsLeave a comment |

I was very touched by this post. I know all you have been through in parenting each of your children, so it speaks volumes to hear you say you are grateful for what each has taught you. You really are an amazing mom and person. :0)

Sometimes I’m not very good at learning those lessons, either!
Good luck in the future!
Thanks for participating.
I learn, but sometimes slowly!
We think that we are supposed to be the teachers in our relationship with our kids but we have learning to do, too. I imagine that your kids feel wonderful to know that they are teaching things to you. Good luck with the lessons yet to come.
Kids are the best teachers!
Great post.
We should always look at the world from the kids perspective. We think we are teaching them but they are really helping us to grow.
