IT'S ALMOST HERE... ENJOY

Here's sending you a springtime wish

that's green and full of fun...

Shamrocks and leprechauns

will have you on the run!

Shamrocks are the lucky plant

three leaves they have not more...

Many people search the world

hoping to find four!

The shamrock gained its claim to fame
in Ireland you see...
When St.Patrick used them to
explain the Trinity!

Leprechauns, begins the tale
little men dressed in green...
Heavy drinking, pulling pranks
trying not to be seen!

 

Cranky fellows with no friends

their passions drink and gold...

It's said they hide large pots of it

at the end of each rainbow!

Here's wishing you a happy day

filled with Irish cheer...

Just keep an eye on your gold

and better watch your beer!

                        Discipline is the Ladder

Discipline is the ladder that gets you from where you are to where you want to go. Discipline is for everyone, every back ground, and should be started when children are young, but it isn't to late... Discipline will help a child earn respect from those around he or she, while showing respect to others. Treating others as they want to be treated. Discipline shows care, concern even love on the parent, teacher, leader or whoever is in charge. You can't just be their friend and let them do whatever they want to do, treating others with dis-respect, no matter their background, (that only tells them that because of their background, they should be angry and treat everyone out of anger and dis-respect.) A child needs rules and fairness, and discipline, and will be accepted easier, and with more kindness than when they only show anger and dis-respect. But the rules must be the same for every child as well as the discipline needs to be the same for every child. Discipline is the ladder you can set against the wall that is between you and what you want. It’s not something to be longing for; it’s something you can accomplish by starting small, setting up the best environment, being consistent, pushing away justification, and then building on your previous successes, kindness, love, respect when earned, discipline when needed and every time when needed.

1. Training expected to produce a specific character or pattern of behavior, especially training that produces moral or mental improvement. 2. Control obtained by enforcing compliance or order. b. A state of order based on submission to rules and authority: a teacher who demanded discipline in the classroom. 3. Punishment intended to correct or train. 4. To teach to obey rules or accept authority. 5. To punish in order to gain control or enforce obedience, and respect.
