Book Cover & Preview Text
· Talk to me about our family heritage, so I can appreciate my roots and more fully understand myself. · Let me learn by trial and error - sometimes. · Encourage me to learn about other cultures, so I won’t fear their differences, but rather, value their offerings. · Teach me to be grateful when given a gift, and to express this gratitude with a thank-you note. · Teach me to appreciate sunsets and rainbows, circuses and springtime. · Teach me to return favors. · Teach me to be patriotic - to fly the flag on holidays, to vote when I’m old enough, and to boldly sing the national anthem. · Teach me to be organized. · Teach me not to be wasteful. · Teach me that success can only come from hard work. · Teach me to laugh at life and at myself. · Allow me to invite my friends to our home. Get to know them, and please, respect our privacy. · Teach me that a good sense of humor is a vital necessity in this, sometimes, chaotic world. · Appreciate my sense of humor, no matter how off-beat, as long as it’s not destructive or cruel in any way. ·
