A Parent's Commandments

Give your child unconditional love,
a love that is not dependent on report
cards, clean hands, or popularity.

Give your children a sense of your whole-
hearted acceptance of their human frailties
as well as their abilities and virtues.

Give your children your permission to grow
up to make up their own lives independent
of you.

Give them a sense of truth...Bestow upon
your child the blessings of your faith.

These are the laws of honoring your
son and your daughter.

Joshua Liebman
