I Am Me And I Am Okay.

I Want To Love You Without Clutching, Appreciate You Without Judging, Join You Without Invading, Invite You Without Demanding, Leave You Without Guilt, Criticize You Without Blaming, And Help You Without Insulting. If I Can Have The Same From You, Then We Can Truly Meet And Enrich Each Other.

I Give Life To That Which I Notice. What I Don't Notice Dies.

It Is O. K. For Me To Feel Angry And To Express It In Responsible Ways.

I Have Talked About Choosing Rather Than Acting From Compulsion. When You Feel That You Have To Live According To Someone Else's Direction Or Live So That You Never Disappoint Or Hurt Anybody, Then Your Life Is A Continual Assessment Of Whether Or Not You Please Other People.

In The Nurturing Family...parents See Themselves As Empowering Leaders Not As Authoritative Bosses. They See Their Job Primarily As One Of Teaching Their Children How To Be Truly Human In All Situations. They Readily Acknowledge To The Child Their Poor Judgment As Well As Their Good Judgment; Their Hurt, Anger, Or Disappointment As Well As Their Joy. The Behavior Of These Parents Matches What They Say.
