I noticed this Parenting Creed and thought it was worth sharing and challenging us to think about these things and take to heart!

A child who is respected, will become Respectful. 

A child who is loved, will become Loving. 

A child who is treated with fairness, will become Just. 

A child who is listened to, will become a Great Listener. 

A child who is given choices, will become Responsible. 

A child who is treated with kindness, will become a Great Friend. 

A child who is nourished in all these ways, will become a Leader.
