A letter from Your Child...

Hi There Mom & Dad,
Thank you so much for everything you do for me... I just thought I should
bring a few pointers to your attention of what I Really need...

Fun
Take Time to Laugh & Play & Share The Wonders of Life With Me

Affection
Warm Hugs will nurture me & make this world a much friendlier place

Acceptance
Appreciate me for the individual I am, with all my unique gifts & special talents

Respect
Treat me like a valuable person, and I'll learn to respect & honour others & myself

Praise
Tell me all the things you appreciate about me so I'll know how wonderful I really am

Security
Give me boundaries that will allow me to grow safely, feel secure, and overcome my fears.

Honesty
Share your real feelings and admit your mistakes, so I'll learn what it means to be a whole person

Patience
Be understanding when I make mistakes, - even when it doesn't seem like it, I'm trying my best.

Forgiveness
Remind me that nobody's perfect, and that it feel much better to forgive than to hold a grudge.

Encouragement
Support me and be positive as I try new things, and I'll have the courage to keep exploring.

Openness
Listen to me and be open to what you may be able to learn from me.

Love
If you care for me in all these ways, you will be giving me the best life has to offer.

And above all
Be Happy Parents - when You are happy, I Really feel Safe...

I Love You...
                      Your Child xxx
