    What Love means to a 4-8 year old.


    What Love means to a 4-8 year old.  
    Slow down for three minutes to read this. 
    It is so Worth it. Touching words from the mouth of babes.
    A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?"
    The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:
     

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.
    So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."
    Rebecca- age 8

    Danny - age 7

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    "Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."

    Tommy - age 6

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
    "During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
    He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
    Cindy - age 8

    "Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken."

    And the final one --
    Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
    The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
    The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
    Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
    When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
    "Nothing, I just helped him cry"

    Det var fantastiskt att läsa vad barnen uttryckte! Det visar klart att barn skall man aldrig negligera eller ta för lätt på! Barn är också fullvärdiga varelser, bara lite bräckligare och därför skall dom respekteras och älskas för vad dom är. Min fru Inger fyllde år i helgen och alla barn och barnbarn var hemma. När mormor ville få en till puss av minstingen Karl, snart 4 år så gick det inte så bra! "Men mormor, du har redan fått min puss. Jag hade bara en med mig!" Så kan det gå.
