1. To pray. I think teaching them young instills a love for prayer and for the savior!
2. To cover their mouth when they cough!~ Enough said right?
3. How to fall asleep on their own. (One I have been struggling with lately!)
Special thanks to Shoplet.com-Purell Hand Sanitizers for sponsoring this blog hop.
What a great list. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGetting to sleep on their own is definitely necessary!
ReplyDeleteYep, getting them to sleep on their own is not the easiest task. My son had a blanket we couldn't leave without because it was the only way he could fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteI remember that getting to sleep on their own stage! ugh.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I so need my sleep - that was one of the things I was most worried about before having kids.

ReplyDeletegreat list! and no worries...the sleep thing will come. my son is two and just started sleeping really well this week!! I would rather tell my child I held him when he cried instead of leaving him in his crib. :)

#3, #3, #3. Nuff said!!!
ReplyDelete(and #1 is the best foundation for any child to develop) :o) Thanks for stopping by today.
All of those are terrific things to teach our kids. We finally learned w/#3 how important going to sleep on their own is and he is the BEST sleeper of the bunch - will put himself to bed when he is tired, sleeps like a rock, etc. We used the Ferber book which I know isn't very popular, but it taught me the reasons behind the technique and I found them valid. It took 2 nights and he was doing it. He had never slept through the night and he was 15 months old waking 3+ times a night.
