In wanting my children to love to read I must first read to them and then fill their home with books.
In wanting my children to be comfortable with themselves I must come to know them individually.
In wanting my children to be passionate I must be willing to go out of my way to encourage their interests.
In wanting my children to be responsible I must give them responsibilities.
In wanting my children to be kind I must first treat them with kindness and then constantly direct their perspective towards how others feel.
In wanting my children to good communicators I must communicate with them and then be willing to listen.
In wanting my children to be problem-solvers I must resist the urge to solve all their problems for them.
In wanting my children to be capable I must choose to put a tool in their hand.
In wanting my children to value honesty I must first never lie to them.
In wanting my children to desire to help others I must treasure the ways in which they imperfectly help me.
In wanting my children to explore the world around them I must first let them step away from me.
What would you add to this list?
