As I grow please...
Understand that I am growing up
and changing very fast. It must be
difficult to keep pace, but please try.
As I grow please...
Listen to me and give me brief,
clear answers to my questions.
Then I will keep sharing my thoughts and feelings.
As I grow please...
Reward me for telling the truth,
Then I am not frightened into lying.
As I grow please...
Tell me when you make mistakes
and what you learned from them.
then I can accept that I am O.K,
even when i blunder
As I grow please..
Pay attention to me and
spend time with me.
Then I can believe that
I am important and worthwhile.

Do the things that you want me to do.
