Tip from Marilyn:
How To Turn Out Great Kids
LOVE them.
LISTEN to them.
CHALLENGE them.
LIMIT them.
Expect RESPECT.
Let them GO when it’s time, but not too early.
Build their SELF-CONFIDENCE.
Teach them to GIVE BACK and be community-minded.
Teach them to LOVE LEARNING.
Give them spiritual and moral guidance through example.
