Ten Things I Want My Kids To Know

There are ten things I want my kids to know, before I cut them loose into the world. My daughter is nearly out there on her own now at almost 21. My older son just graduated high school. So, he's on his way. Several years ago I questioned myself as to whether I had done everything to prepare my children to be successful in this world. I came up with this list of ten things.

1. Put God first
2. Always do right
3. Treat everyone well
4. Choose your friends wisely
5. Try new things
6. Don’t be afraid to fail
7. If you fall down, get up
8. Help people, especially those who cannot repay you
9. Ask questions and listen to answers
10. Honor your father and mother

Happy parenting!

Peace,

Stan
