REMEMBER –

CHILDREN HAVE THEIR OWN EXPECTATIONS -

OFTEN BIGGER THAN OURS OF THEM

PLEASING

PARENTS

IS AN

ADDITIONAL

TASK

You give them your love but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts...

…..Kahlil Gibran

You are the bows

from which your children

as living arrows

are sent forth….

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,

and He bends you with His might

that His arrows may go swift and far……

Let our bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies,

so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Kahlil Gibran

THINK OF PARENTS AS A LAUNCH PAD – STRONG & STABLE

MODERN BOW & ARROW

AT THE RIGHT TIME

THE SUPPORTS WILL HAVE TO

STEP AWAY

RESPONSIBILITY

THEY LEARN BY OBSERVING

HOW WE HANDLE OUR EMOTIONS

HOW WE WEATHER OUR STORMS

THEY OBSERVE AND LEARN

THEY OBSERVE QUIETLY

It is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings

--Ann Landers

BE A LIGHTHOUSE

WHAT GIFTS TO GIVE TO

CHILDREN

The best gifts –

YOUR TIMEA GOOD EXAMPLE

Praise & Encouragement

Support in times of failure

How much freedom?

Give them the freedom to

‘fail’

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

Mahatma Gandhi

Roots and Wings

Denis Waitley

The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence

Gift of a love filled home

Introduce them to interpersonal harmony

The greatest good you can do for another is

not just to share your riches

but to reveal to him his own

--Benjamin Disraeli

How to Criticize?

We worry about what a child will become tomorrow..

yet we forget that he is someone today

--Stacia Tauscher

TAKE CARE NOT TO INJURE

SELF – ESTEEM

WHILE CRITICIZING

REMEMBER, INJURY TO SELF-ESTEEM IS AS PAINFUL AS PHYSICAL HURT

The words we use to Approve and Disapprove will continue to play in their minds long into adulthood

They will believe those words because they love and trust parents

They can read our expectations whether we speak or not

CHILDREN OF EMOTIONALLY INTELLIGENT PARENTS HAVE A TREMENDOUS ADVANTAGE
