Child To Parent
-
Don't spoil me, I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask
for. I am only testing you.
-
Don't be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it. It makes me feel more
secure.
-
Don't let me form bad habits. I have to rely on you to detect them in
the early stages.
-
Don't make me feel smaller than I am. It only makes me behave stupidly
"big."
-
Don't correct me in front of people if you can avoid it. I'll take
much more notice if you talk quietly with me in private.
-
Don't protect me from consequences. I need to learn the painful way
sometimes.
-
Don't take too much notice of my small ailments. I am quite capable of
trading on them.
-
Don't nag. If you do, I shall have to protect myself by appearing
deaf.
-
Don't make rash promises. Remember that I feel badly let down when
promises are broken.
-
Don't forget that I cannot explain myself as well as I would like.
That is why I am not always very accurate.
-
Don't tax my honesty too much. I am easily frightened into telling
lies.
-
Don't be inconsistent. That completely confuses me and makes me lose
faith in you.
-
Don't put me off when I ask questions. If you do you will find I will
stop asking and seek information elsewhere.
-
Don't tell my fears are silly. They are terribly real, and you can do
much to reassure me if you try to understand.
And please...
-
Don't neglect me; I do not want to be a delinquent.
