Goal 1: We want to help our children be happy about who they are, both as children and as adults Break with tradition: don't stereotype your children Never reward bad behaviour with attention
Goal 2: We don't want our children to make dangerous mistakes when they start thinking about forming their own relationships Answer questions about sex as openly and naturally as you would any other question Never state or imply any expectations about your child's possible future relationships
Goal 3: We want our children to be able to decide against dangerous addictions when they start adult life Make certain they never even try drugs or cigarettes Allow only very occasional alcohol consumption, with family meals Spend time with your children so you know who is influencing them Always know where your children are and who they are with until they are 16 Set a good example in your use of all addictive or dangerous substances
Goal 4: We want our children to be physically and mentally healthy when they start the road of adult life Protect them from videos, films or computer games rated over their age at all times Ensure your child enjoys healthy food and plenty of exercise from a very young age Never smoke around your children Show your children how much you care about them every single day
Goal 5: We want our children to be as intelligent as they can be when they reach adult life Try to make every moment an opportunity for the child to learn something new Read to your children daily from age 0-16, and encourage them to read with you as soon as they can Give them space, peace, time and encouragement for homework whenever they need it Play classical music to babies and young children whenever you can |
