Six Critical Life Messages

A Parents Together favorite book is by Barbara Coloroso:
kids are worth it! Giving Your Child the Gift of Inner Discipline

In her book, Coloroso lists what she calls "six critical life messages" that our children should receive from us as often as possible:

I believe in you

I trust you

I know you can handle this

You are listened to

You are cared for

You are very important to me

Some days can get really busy for our family, and
having these messages to refer to has been really helpful for me.

I even read this one! :) Seriously, a great read - offers great perspective. And her messages -- in the day to day bustle of life, they can become lost. We often show our kids that we don't trust them, and we don't have the time to listen/care/etc....
