3. Admire and enjoy your children.

As helpless and powerless as you may feel, you’ve probably never been more important in your life. Your children’s skyrocketing needs give you every reason to fly out of bed in the morning.

On our Parents Corner you can access two helpful articles: “Admiring Children” and  “Fun Helps Everyone”You'll find in them some amazing suggestions from parents and professionals about ways to make your children know they’re special.

Self-regard is as essential to children as to adults, and so much of your children’s good opinion of themselves must come from you.

There may be nothing in your life more important than giving these gifts to your children now.
