A Message to Parents

Dear parents, today I would like to share with you a favorite message from a teenager. Believe me, this message will help us stay true to our parenting commitment.

A MESSAGE TO PARENTS


If you RESPECT me,
I will hear you.

If you LISTEN to me,
I will feel understood.

If you UNDERSTAND me,
I will feel appreciated.

If you APPRECIATE me,
I will know your support.

If you SUPPORT me as I try new things,
I will become responsible

When I am RESPONSIBLE,
I will grow to be independent.

In my INDEPENDENCE,
I will respect you and love you all of my life.

Thank you, Your Teenager
