WELCOME YOUTHE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR PARENTS FROM CHILDREN
1. My hands are small; please do not expect perfection whenever I
make a bed, draw a picture, or throw a ball. My legs are short; slow down so that I can
keep up with you.
2. My eyes have not seen the world as yours have; let me explore it
safely; do not restrict me unnecessarily.
3. Housework will always be there; I am little only for a short
time. Take time to explain things to me about this wonderful world, and do so willingly.
4. My feelings are tender; do not nag me all day long (you would
not want to be nagged for your inquisitiveness). Treat me as you would like to be treated.
5. I am a special gift to both of you, holding you accountable for my actions, giving me guidelines to live by, and
discipline me in a loving manner.
6. I need your encouragement (but not your empty praise) to grow.
Go easy on the criticism; remember you can criticise the things I do without criticising
me.
7. Give me the freedom to make decisions concerning myself. Permit
me to fail, so that I can learn from my mistakes. Then someday I will be prepared to make
the decisions life will require of me.
8. Do not do things for me; that makes me feel that my efforts did
not measure up to your expectations. I know its hard, but don't compare me with my brother
or sister.
9. Do not be afraid to leave for a weekend together. Kids need
vacations from parents, and parents need vacations from kids. Besides, it's a great way to
show us kids that your marriage is something special.
10.
Teach me the right way to live and love my family and friends, and show
me the right way to treat the other children of the world. All of us
are different in one way or another and we will learn through your
guidence the meaning of love and respect for all living beings.
Now that I lay me down in my bed,
And pull the covers right up to my head.
I'll dream of dragons and fairies bright,
And pixies and wizards and elves tonight.
I'll dream of some sort of magical place, and
wake in the morning with a smile on my face.
