It is amazing how many parents ask me to work with their children. “My son just does not understand” “my daughter needs to work on her communication skills” “my son has no drive in his life to do better” and so on.

All you parents out there, we all need to learn to look in the mirror first when it comes to our children.

It is not to say that we are always at fault for our children’s mis-guidedness. At the same time we should always ask our selves, What are we doing to our children bring out the greatness that is within them?

A Life In Your Hands
• If a child lives with criticism, he learns to condemn;
•
• If a child lives with hostility, he learns to fight;
•
• If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to be shy;
•
• If a child lives with shame, he learns to feel guilty;
•
• If a child lives with tolerance, he learns to be patient;
•
• If a child lives with encouragement, he learns confidence;
•
• If a child lives with praise, he learns to appreciate;
•
• If a child lives with fairness, he learns justice;
•
• If a child lives with security, he learns to have faith;
•
• If a child lives with approval, he learns to like himself;
•
• If a child lives with acceptance and friendship, he learns to find love in the world.
(Dorothy Law Holte)

We have a responsibility and an obligation to teach our children how to think in this world. Make choices based on values and integrity.
