What I Wish Parents Understood:

1) Your kids do not have to be #1 to be successful.
2) Losing is OK as long as you did your best.
3) EVERY child is beautiful!
4) Grades only tell what your kid can do when told what to do.
5) Yes, your kids should be friends with everyone!
6) Doing it FOR your kids does not make them the best.
7) FORCING your kids to do something does not make them the winner.
8) Money will not buy your child's position in life.
9) Yes...every child should be given an invitation to the party.
10) Ummmm...your kids are not perfect.
11) Your kid's success does not make you somebody.
12) Be proud of your kids and brag on them without putting down another kid.
13) Those other kids have feelings and want your approval too!!!!!!!!!

Just some personal feelings along with some professional feelings.
