Naturally Naughty

Every toddler is born beautiful (or handsome!) and each is so special.

Delightful moments of laughter, silly games, funny sayings and poignant memories characterise their life. The daily hard work is punctuated with incredible feelings of love, joy and thankfulness.

Yet, as parents we have a job to do. Despite the gorgeous personality, the character needs some work. The desire to be self-pleasing and self-ruling is naturally evident in each little life. A parent needs to gently and consistently model right from wrong, virtues, habits and life philosophy.

The naturally naughty can be guided towards mostly naturally nice!
