on demand cuddles hours of play

Directions
- Apply overabundance of love to all children involved.
- When, asked and based on skill observation of needs, apply cuddles. The heart to heart, eye to eye ones.
- Have two ears ready at all times to listen. This step also requires the closing of the mouth and opening of the heart.
- Patience will be what binds the entire recipe together. It will be required at all times especially when it appears to have run out for the person following the recipe. Dig deep there’s always a little left at the bottom of the barrel.
- Sprinkle magic regularly, when moods are darkening, with bubbles and dancing.
- To succeed you will need to play. A lot. Together. And alone. Just play and play and play. This is essential for success.
- Time, you will need uninterrupted time for the smelling of roses and the chasing of tales.
- And finally, understanding will overflow throughout the entire recipe in order for happiness to be true. Make sure your understanding is based on the child’s view and not cluttered with the business of adulting.
