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 your 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 want 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, but not your praise, 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 kind of decisions 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 with my brother or sister.
9. Please don't be afraid to leave for a weekend together. Kids need
vacations from their 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 regularly, setting a
good example for me to follow. I enjoy learning more about God.
