Again, rummaging through papers, I found this scrap (I used to print
them out and pin or tape them to mirrors or desks or walls), from "Blue
Skies!" Robin:


1) Adult-like behavior matures by the time we are adults.

2) No expectations means no disappointments for us and no damaging
pressure for our children.

3) Children respond best to modeling and leadership, not control

4) Trust...and wait.

5) Choose between the momentary convenience and your long-term goal for
your child's sense of self.

6) Enjoy your child for who he is, not for whom you would like him to
be---he will never be this age again.

7) Distinguish between your emotional needs and what your child feels
and needs. Act toward your child in harmony with her needs: take care
of your emotional needs elsewhere.

8) Celebrate your child's uniqueness as well as your own.
