I just have to pass this along. It is such a good reminder for all of us parents. This was posted at www.mercola.com.
This is a list of the top 10 things students around the world said they desire most from their parents.
1. Come into my bedroom at night, tuck me in and sing me a song. Also tell me stories about when you were little.
2. Give me hugs and kisses and sit and talk with me privately.
3. Spend quality time just with me, not with my brothers and sisters around.
4. Give me nutritious food so I can grow up healthy.
5. At dinner talk about what we could do together on the weekends.
6. At night talk to me about anything: love, school, family etc.
7. Let me play outside a lot.
8. Cuddle under a blanket and watch our favorite TV show together (or read books).
9. Discipline me. It makes me feel like you care.
10. Leave special messages in my desk or lunch bag.
Children are incredibly wise and tend to see the world more simply than we do. Perhaps it is time we start taking their advice.
I think I could add a little note and say that this might be a list husbands and wives would desire of each other, also. What do you think? lol

I agree. Their time with us is so short and the memories we create with them now will last forever.
