Take a Moment by Denis Waitely

Take a moment to listen today
to what your children are trying to say,
Listen to them, whatever you do
or they won't be there to listen to you.

Listen to their problems, listen to their needs
Praise their smallest triumphs, praise their littlest deeds;
Tolerate their chatter, amplify their laughter,
Find out what's the matter, find out what they're after.

If we tell our children all the bad in them we see,
They'll grow up exactly how we hoped they'd never be;
But if we tell our children we're so proud to wear their name,
They'll grow up believing that they're winners in the game.

So tell them that you love them every single night;
And though you scold them make sure you hold them
and tell them they're all right, "Good night, happy dreams,
Tomorrow's looking bright."

Take a moment to listen today to what
your children are trying to say
Listen to them whatever you do, and
They'll be there to listen to you.

Children learn what they live, and children live what they learn. I wouldn't give them things, I'll simply give them roots and wings. Greatest gift to children: Roots of core values, and wings of self-determination, wings to fly.


Roots
1. Self-awareness - Potential

Potential is greater than they could ever dream. There is more that they can do in this world than they imagine possible.
2. Self-esteem - Intrinsic Value
The non-material realization of spiritual value. I'm not the best looking in the group I just look my best in the group.
3. Self-honesty - Integrity
Walk the talk!
4. Self-determination - Responsibility
We don't take chances, we make choices, we live with the logical consequence in the reward of your choice. Personal responsibility is thinking before they decide to choose, to be able to live with the consequence of the reward of that choice.
5. Self-discipline - Positive
Doing within while you are without. If you have been there in the mind, you can go there in the body. Doing it over and over again.


Wings

1. Self-motivation - Desire
Motivation is an inner force that compels behavior. Desire instead of fear.
2. Self-imagination - Creativity
Only humans have the power of God given imagination. Imagination of the best that we could do.
3. Self-direction - Goals
A lot of people love the spot light, but the best thing to do is have laser focus, because laser takes all the light and focus it on an area that brings it to the top. If you don't know what you're going to do today it doesn't really matter if the alarm goes on. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
4. Self-expectation - Optimism
Things you believe in are not proven fundamentally always, you can't see them but you believe them anyway
5. Self-dimension - Perspective
Looking beyond yourself for meaning.
