Ten Commitments For Parents
1 I will always love and respect my child
for who he is and not who I want him to be.
2 I will give my child space –
to grow, to dream, to succeed and even sometimes to fail.
3 I will create a loving home environment and show my child that she is
loved, whenever and however I can.
4 I will, when discipline is necessary, let my child know that
I disapprove of what he does, not who he is.
5 I will set limits for my child and help him find security
in the knowledge of what is expected of him.
6 I will make time for my child and cherish our moments together,
realizing how important – and fleeting – they are.
7 I will not burden my child with emotions and problems he is not equipped to deal with,
remembering that I am the parent and he is the child
8 I will encourage my child to experience the world and all its possibilities,
guiding him in its ways and taking pains to leave him careful but not fearful.
9 I will take care of myself physically and emotionally
so that I can be there for my child when he needs me.
10 I will try to be the kind of person I want my child to grow up to be –
loving, fair-minded, moral, giving and hopeful.
