Gentle guidance This board is not a debate board regarding spanking vs. non spanking. While we strongly believe that children need and thrive with guidance, we also believe that hitting is not the answer. If you have come here to discuss spanking and your reasons, please desist.

I Love this poem! Come see about gentle guidance!

I see my role as a mother and as a teacher to be a gentle but firm guide to help them become the best person they can become. I have been thinking about adding some pro-gentle guidance gift items for my store, and found this poem:

About the little old woman who lived in a shoe and knew "just what to do!"

Anyway I thought you might like it too!

FAT FACT:
20 years ago a standard cup of coffee was 8 ounces and had 45 calories.
Today's 16 ounce cup of "brand" coffee has 350 calories.
You need to walk approximately one hour and 20 minutes to burn off the extra 305 calories in the "brand" coffee.
