Help Me Grow

Please be consistent with me,
Then I can trust your words and actions.

Comfort me when I'm scared, hurt or sad,
Then I'll know that I'm okay
Even when I'm not feeling strong or happy.
Take responsibility for all your feelings and actions,
Then I also won't blame others
And I'll take responsibility for my life.

Communicate what you feel hurt or frightened about,
when you're angry with me,
Then I'll feel I'm a good person and
I'll learn how to constructively deal with my feelings.

Tell me clearly and specifically what you want,
Then I can hear you and I'll also know how
To communicate my needs in a positive way.

Express to me that I'm Okay even when my words or
behavior may not be,
Then I can learn from my mistakes and have high self-esteem.

Balance your life between work and play,
Then I can believe that I can grow up,
Be responsible and have fun.

Remember what you wanted when you were my age,
Then you'll better understand my needs and interests.

Understand and accept me.
I may be different from you and I'm Okay.

Treat me as an individual,
Then I'll know that I can be my unique self.

Hug me and tell me that you care about me,
Then I'll feel loveable and I'll express care to others.
