All declarations
I M loving my child for who they are, not just applauding what they achieve.
Wisdom
A child praised only for performance learns that love is a wage, earned and revocable. Tell them who they are to you when they have won nothing, so their worth rests on a foundation the world cannot foreclose on.
Carry It
Tell a child today that you love them for who they are, at a moment when they have accomplished absolutely nothing.
Ask Yourself
Does your child believe your love is a prize for performing, or a fact they can rest in?
I bring the words. You bring the voice.
