1. My hands are small; please don't expect
perfection
whenever I make a bed, draw a picture or throw
a
ball. My legs are short; please slow down so
that I
can keep up with you.
2. My eyes have not seen the world as yours
have;
please let me explore safely. Don't restrict me
unnecessarily.
3. Housework will always be there. I'm only
little
for a short time, please take time to explain
things
to me about this wonderful world and do so
willingly.
4. My feelings are tender; please be sensitive
to my
needs. Don't nag me all day long. (You
wouldn't want
to be nagged for your inquisitiveness). Treat
me as
you would like to be treated.
5. I am a special gift from God; please
treasure me
as God intended you to do, holding me
accountable for
my actions, giving me guidelines to live by and
disciplining me in a loving manner.
6. I need your encouragement to grow. Please go
easy
on the criticism; remember, you can criticize
the
things I do without criticizing me.
7. Please give me the freedom to make decisions
concerning myself. Permit me to fail, so that I
can
learn from my mistakes. Then someday I'll be
prepared
to make the kinds of decisions that life
requires of
me.
8. Please don't do things over for me. Somehow
that
makes me feel that my efforts didn't quite
measure up
to your expectations. I know it's hard, but
please
don't try to compare me to my brother or
sister.
9. Please don't be afraid to leave for a
weekend
together. Kids need vacations from parents,
just as
parents need vacations from kids. Besides, it's
a
great way to show us kids that your marriage is
very
special.
10. Please take me to Sunday School and church
or
synagogue regularly, setting a good example for
me to
follow. I enjoy learning more about God.
