      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’m not frightened into lying.
  
  
• Tell me when you make mistakes and what you learned from them. Then I can accept that I’m O.K., even when I blunder.
  
  
• Pay attention to me and spend time with me. Then I can believe that I’m important and worthwhile.
  
  
• Do the things you want me to do. Then I will have a good positive role 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.
