TAKE CARE WITH LABELS
When you teach your children that certain
things are good,
they are likely to call all different things bad.
If you them that certain things are beautiful,
they may see all other things as ugly.
Call difficult things, "difficult,"
and easy things, "easy,"
without avoiding one and seeking the other
and your children will learn self-confidence.
Call results, "results,"
without labeling one as success
and another as failure
and your children will learn freedom from fear.
Call birth, "birth,"
and death, "death,"
without seeing one as good
and the other as evil
and your children will be at home with life.
*Notice today how your children label things.
"This stinks."
"That's stupid."
Don't correct them.
Just notice and consider how they learned.
Start today to teach a different lesson.
