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
