“All the king’s horses and all the king’s men can’t put the past together again. So let’s remember. Don’t try to saw sawdust.” (Dale Carnegie, US author)

Oh, how much easier and more pleasant would life be if we could live by this principle. Each day really is a new start both for you and your child. If you flipped out over something stupid yesterday, apologize and put it behind you. If your kid had a particularly trying day and managed to stomp on every last one of your nerves, allow your resentment to slide out of you as you slide under the covers.
