Dear Mum & Dad



Source: From Bringing Up Kids Without Tearing Them Down
                 by Dr Kevin Leman
                   (Pictures from the web)
1. Don’t spoil me. I know quite well that I
  ought not to have all I ask for. I’m only
  testing you.
2. Don’t be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer
  it. It lets me know where I stand.
3. Don’t use force with me. It teaches me
  that power is all that counts. I will respond
  more readily to being led.
4. Don’t be inconsistent. That confuses me
  and makes me try harder to get away with
  everything I can.
5. Don’t make promises you may not be
   able to keep them. That will discourage
   my trust in you.
6. Don’t fall for my provocations when I say
  and do things just to upset you. Then I’ll
  try for more such “victories.”
7. Don’t make me feel smaller than I am.
  I will make up for it by behaving like a
  “big shot”.
8. Don’t do things for me that I can do for
  myself. It makes me feel like a baby, and I
  may continue to put you in my service.
9. Don’t let my “bad habits” get me a lot
  of your attention. It only encourages
  me to continue them.
10. Don’t correct me in front of people.
 I’ll take much more notice if you talk
 quietly with me in private.
11. Don’t try to discuss my behaviour in
  the heat of a conflict. For some reason
  my hearing is not very good at this time
  and my cooperation is even worse. It is
  all right to take the action required, but
  let’s not talk about it until later.
12. Don’t preach to me. You’d be surprised
  how well I know what’s right and wrong..
13. Don’t make me feel that my mistakes
 are sins. I have to learn to make mistakes
 without feeling that I am no good.
14. Don’t nag. If you do, I shall have to
  protect myself by appearing deaf.
15. Don’t demand explanations for my
  wrong behaviour. I really don’t know
  why I did it.
16. Don’t tax my honesty too much. I am
  easily frightened into telling lies.
17. Don’t forget that I love to experiment.
 I learn from it, so please put up with it.
18. Don’t take too much notice of my
  small ailments. I may learn to enjoy
  poor health if it gets me much
  attention.
19. Don’t put me off when I ask honest
  questions. If you do, you will find that I
  stop asking and seek my information
  elsewhere.
20. Don’t answer “silly” or meaningless
 questions. I just want you to keep busy
 with me.
21. Don’t ever think that it is beneath your
  dignity to apologise to me. An honest
  apology makes me feel surprisingly warm
  towards you.
22. Don’t ever suggest that you are
  perfect or infallible. It gives me too
  much to live up to.
23. Don’t let my fears arouse your
  anxiety. Then I will become more afraid.
  Show me courage.
24. Don’t forget that I can’t thrive without lots
  of understanding and encouragement, but
  I don’t need to tell you that, do I?
The End

Dear mum & dad

  • 1. Dear Mum & Dad Source: From Bringing Up Kids Without Tearing Them Down by Dr Kevin Leman (Pictures from the web)
  • 2. 1. Don’t spoil me. I know quite well that I ought not to have all I ask for. I’m only testing you.
  • 3. 2. Don’t be afraid to be firm with me. I prefer it. It lets me know where I stand.
  • 4. 3. Don’t use force with me. It teaches me that power is all that counts. I will respond more readily to being led.
  • 5. 4. Don’t be inconsistent. That confuses me and makes me try harder to get away with everything I can.
  • 6. 5. Don’t make promises you may not be able to keep them. That will discourage my trust in you.
  • 7. 6. Don’t fall for my provocations when I say and do things just to upset you. Then I’ll try for more such “victories.”
  • 8. 7. Don’t make me feel smaller than I am. I will make up for it by behaving like a “big shot”.
  • 9. 8. Don’t do things for me that I can do for myself. It makes me feel like a baby, and I may continue to put you in my service.
  • 10. 9. Don’t let my “bad habits” get me a lot of your attention. It only encourages me to continue them.
  • 11. 10. Don’t correct me in front of people. I’ll take much more notice if you talk quietly with me in private.
  • 12. 11. Don’t try to discuss my behaviour in the heat of a conflict. For some reason my hearing is not very good at this time and my cooperation is even worse. It is all right to take the action required, but let’s not talk about it until later.
  • 13. 12. Don’t preach to me. You’d be surprised how well I know what’s right and wrong..
  • 14. 13. Don’t make me feel that my mistakes are sins. I have to learn to make mistakes without feeling that I am no good.
  • 15. 14. Don’t nag. If you do, I shall have to protect myself by appearing deaf.
  • 16. 15. Don’t demand explanations for my wrong behaviour. I really don’t know why I did it.
  • 17. 16. Don’t tax my honesty too much. I am easily frightened into telling lies.
  • 18. 17. Don’t forget that I love to experiment. I learn from it, so please put up with it.
  • 19. 18. Don’t take too much notice of my small ailments. I may learn to enjoy poor health if it gets me much attention.
  • 20. 19. Don’t put me off when I ask honest questions. If you do, you will find that I stop asking and seek my information elsewhere.
  • 21. 20. Don’t answer “silly” or meaningless questions. I just want you to keep busy with me.
  • 22. 21. Don’t ever think that it is beneath your dignity to apologise to me. An honest apology makes me feel surprisingly warm towards you.
  • 23. 22. Don’t ever suggest that you are perfect or infallible. It gives me too much to live up to.
  • 24. 23. Don’t let my fears arouse your anxiety. Then I will become more afraid. Show me courage.
  • 25. 24. Don’t forget that I can’t thrive without lots of understanding and encouragement, but I don’t need to tell you that, do I?
