A good parenting quote IMHO- but I'm not a parent yet

[Fayebelle]

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the
universe, a moment that will never be again. And what
do we teach our children? We teach them that two and
two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France.
When will we also teach them what they are?

We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are?
You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that
have passed, there has never been another child like you.
Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move.

You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven.
You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel.
And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is,
like you, a marvel?

You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy
of its children.
--Pablo Casals (1876-1973)

Honesty and caring for/with herself and with others.

WOW- so far ambition is beating values 2 to 1 -granted only 3 people have voted but WOW! I didn't expect that! :o

[Star]

I'm surprised at that also. I would think that teaching your child values first will take them to the rest.

[Duke]

I didn't really vote because I have no idea where mine fits in :?

[Fayebelle]

I had typed an "Other- Please explain" Option but for some reason it was lost :?

[Duke]

Oh because you have to hit "add option" after your last added option. I think it's a bug but like all the bugs around here, it needs to be looked at.

lmao, ok I'll add it for you :wink:

[Duke]

Actually I was talking out my rear, it's not a bug, you just forgot to hit "add option". It's fixed now, voted.

[Fayebelle]

I warned everyone in another thread- I'm officially Compudumb! LOL

Thanks for fixing it.

[Duke]

No problem
