Some behavior in your children will seem "good"
to you.
Other behavior will seem unequivocally "bad."
Notice both in your children
without being overly impressed by one
nor overly dismayed by the other.
In doing so you will be imitating the Tao
which sees our behavior as a mask
and sees immediately beneath it
to the good within our heart.
Above all, do not attack your child's behavior
and attempt to change it
by endless talking and scolding.
Stay at your center and look beneath the behavior
to the hear of the child.
There you will find only good.
When you see the heart
you will know what to do.
*Of course some behavior is dangerous to the child
and to others.
Express your concern with the behavior.
Do not attack the child.
Consider now a particular behavior that concerns
you.
Meditate carefully and see through
to the hear of your child.
What does it tell you?
