THE WEDNESDAY SIMMER - Remember What You Are

"[Kids] don't remember what you try to teach them.  They remember what you are."  - Jim Henson           
I came across this amazing little boy, Amor Lilman on You Tube a few weeks back.  He is a powerful little guy using his gifts to heal families, children and the world.  It literally brought tears to my eyes.  
His words about violence were moving and his message, "Stop Da Violence" was inspiring, but truthfully, all I could think about was the fact that it has gotten to the point where a child is being forced to heal because so many adults are hurting.  It seems a little backwards to me.  

Shouldn't we be the ones with the moving words and inspiring messages that help our children become who they want to be?

But sadly, these days, it isn't the norm.  Many of us tell our kids what the right thing to do is, but if we don't reinforce it with our own actions, we aren't teaching them anything at all.  As the late Jim Henson said, "Kids don't remember what you try to teach them.  They remember what you are."

What they see in us, is what our children will learn and become.  How we act, is what our children will know.  

So let's heal the world by healing our homes and ourselves first.   Let's give kids a chance to BE kids.  To run and play.  To have a world of imagination at their finger tips rather than a world that forces them to grow up too soon. 

So whether you're throwing noodles, taking on the creative or discussing the difference between right and wrong with your kids, "remember what you are."

    Welcome to the Noodles On The Wall Blog, a place where I share the trials and tribulations of a creative noodle maker. (That's me!) My life is full of noodles and I've learned it takes a dash of inspiration and a pinch of creativity to throw them up on the wall to see if they stick. Hope you stick around!
