The Message Sent Is Not Always The

I Believe The Greatest Gift I Can Conceive Of Having From Anyone Is To Be Seen By Them, Heard By Them, To Be Understood And Touched By Them.

Feelings Of Worth Can Flourish Only In An Atmosphere Where Individual Differences Are Appreciated, Mistakes Are Tolerated, Communication Is Open, And Rules Are Flexible - The Kind Of Atmosphere That Is Found In A Nurturing Family.

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 Regard (parenting) As The Hardest, Most Complicated, Anxiety-ridden, Sweat-and-blood-producing Job In The World. Succeeding Requires The Ultimate In Patience, Common Sense, Commitment, Humor, Tact, Love, Wisdom, Awareness, And Knowledge. At The Same Time, It Holds The Possibility For The Most Rewarding, Joyous Experience Of A Lifetime, Namely, That Of Being Successful Guides To A New And Unique Human Being.
