Considering how hard it is to teach some adults manners, I have no doubt the struggle with children is not an easy task either. However, sometimes it is just the different ways that we communicate with each other and their environment that can also influence their behaviour.
You should also include people who are raising other people's children in your acknowledgements, they show love to those that are not directly linked to them by blood, which is a very pure and noble form of love as well :)
That is an excellent point @plushzilla :) One that didn't come to mind. Perhaps parents that adopt or raise other's kids deserve their own post.
Thanks for dropping by.
