Thanks to Pastor Jim and the Net 153 Christian Magazine where the whole family
can find health Christian resources.
As I grow Please... Understand that I am growing up and changing very fast. It
must be difficult to keep pace with me, but please try.
Listen to me and give me brief, clear answers to my questions. Then I will keep
sharing my thoughts and feelings Reward me for telling the truth. Then I am not
frightened into lying.
Tell me when you make mistakes and what you learned from them. Then I can accept
that I am OK, even when I blunder. Pay attention to me, and spend time with me.
Then I can believe that I am important and worthwhile. Do the things you want me
to do. Then I have a good, positive model.
Trust and respect me. Even though I am smaller than you, I have feelings and
needs just like you.
Compliment and appreciate me. Then I'll feel good, and I'll want to continue to
please you.
Help me explore my unique interests, talents and potential. In order for me to
be happy, I need to be me, and not you or someone you want me to be.
Be an individual and create your own happiness. Then you can teach me the same,
and I can live a happy, successful and fulfilling life.
THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME, I LOVE YOU!!!
