Notes from a perplexed mum


How should I teach the kids to ....

... fit in but stand out

... be disciplined but break the rules

... speak their mind but not be rude

... be smart but not be cheeky

... be active but not naughty

... help people in trouble but stay away from trouble

... be generous but watch their interest

... make new friends but not talk to strangers

... grow up fast but retain their innocence

... be independent but never stop needing me
