# Listen more; talk at less: Ask what do you think? What are you feeling? Tell me about it. What would you do?
# Negotiate less; explain more: Our kids deserve to know the thinking behind our decisions and expectations, but should not be equal partners at the bargaining table. We are the parents.
# Read a little more: to your child, with your child, and in front of your child – books, magazines, newspapers, notes
# Write a little more: notes of love, recognition, encouragement, responsibility, and daily appreciation of life.
# Expect a little more: good behavior, responsibility, manners, kindness, and all of the goodness that lies within our children.
# Expect a little less: constant scheduling and enrichment filled days. Slow down, you move too fast. Children need a lot of slow to grow.
# Connect more: to family, friends, the community, those less fortunate, and the natural world.
