Children Need....

A-ppreciation, for all they bring into our lives

B-alance, somewhere between too little and too much.

C-ommitment, it's the little things we do each day that matter.

D-reams, to touch the future.

E-mpathy, remember what it was like to be a child.

F-amily And Friends, everyone needs someone to love.

G-uidance, actions speak louder than words.

H-ealthy Habits, to nurture body, mind and spirit.

I-nspiration, to explore beauty, wonder and mystery.

J-oy, sprinkle laughter and happiness daily.

K-indness, to learn to care for others as they are cared for.

L-imits, set boundaries and consequences together.

M-entors, to give wings to their aspirations.

N-ature, to delight in rainbow butterflies and shooting stars .

O-pportunities, to discover what truly makes their heart sing.

P-lay, the "work" of childhood .

Q-uiet Time, to recharge their batteries.

R-esponsibilities, to build self-esteem and self-confidence.

S-ecurity, feeling safe is essential for growth.

T-raditions, keep the family tree alive & sprout new branches.

U-nconditional Love, for who they are , not for what they do.

V-alues, live yours and encourage them to find theirs.

W-ords Of Encouragement, You can do it, I believe in you.

X-oxoxo's, hug and kiss them each and every day.

Y-ou, your presence more than your presents.

Z-zzzzzzs, a good night's sleep.
