When raising
children...
- Learn what works for each child
- Never compare your children (with their siblings or other kids)
- Remember that every child has a unique thing that makes them special...so your "straight A" students shouldn't automatically be considered the best
- Learn to give your children a break, don't be a perfectionist in the area of parenthood...unless you are trying to raise robots
- Don't demand/expect flawlessness..remember you had areas you also struggled with as a child
- Know when to overlook things...you'll save yourself a lot of stress
- Learn to separate process from patterns...there are things that a child MUST go through
- Never let anything or anyone (including you) eat at your child's self-esteem, it's easy to destroy but difficult to build
- When it comes to your child, know what to share with people and what to share with God ONLY
- Morals come first...don't raise rude/disrespectful geniuses
- Above all, train your children...not just with the words of your mouth but with your character. You can say all you want, a child will do what they see you do
