Blessed are those parents who refuse to compare their children with others, for precious unto each is the rhythm of his or her own growth.
Blessed are those parents who treat their children with consistency, for this makes children secure.
Blessed are those parents who have learned to laugh, for it is the music of the child's world.
Blessed are those parents who can say, "No" without anger, for comforting to the child is the security of a firm decision.
Blessed are those parents who love their children in the midst of a hostile world, for love is the greatest of all gifts.
Blessed are those parents who read these words.but more blessed yet are they who follow them.
