Today’s post is also from the “Children’s Ten Commandments for Parents,” by Mr. Kevin Lehman as quoted in “Dear Abby,” Independent Press Telegram, January 12, 1981.
Commandment #1: “My hands are small; please don’t expect perfection whenever I make a bed, draw a picture, or throw a ball. My legs are short; slow down so that I can keep up with you.”
Commandment #2: “My eyes have not seen the world as yours have; let me explore it safely; don’t restrict me unnecessarily.”
