Sixteen Approaches
Children of your own
Character in each
Fill their loving cup
Help extend their reach
Teach them to forgive
And to love a lot
Teach the best way known
Teach what you were taught
Don’t be condescending, it only aggravates
Patience is a virtue, that’s when someone waits
Tolerance is bliss, you have to make allowance
Always give praise, and sometimes more allowance
Never mock or ridicule
Encourage to go far
Encourage curiosity
And reaching for a star
Never interrupt
Never look for proof
Always listen closely
Always speak the truth
Be helpful to your neighbor
Not contradictory
There are no stupid questions
Take pride in victory
