Be careful



Be careful of rules for your children.

Rules diminish responsibility.

Be careful of rewards for your children.

Rewards diminish self-esteem.

Be careful of punishments for your children.

Punishments diminish trust.

Let lessons be imposed by the nature of things, not by your own agendas or your own needs.

Integrity will replace rules.

Contentment will replace striving.

Spirituality will replace religion.

Songs will replace arguments.

Dances will replace battles.

William Martin, The Parents Tao Te Ching
