{ "If I had my child to raise again... }

 I'd build self-esteem first, {and the house later}.

I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less. 

I would do less correcting, and {more connecting}.

I'd take {my eyes off my watch}, and watch with my eyes.

I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.

I'd stop playing serious, and {seriously play}.

I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars.

I'd do {more hugging} and less tugging."
