My Son

Self Confidence, Love, Safety, Intimacy, Knowledge

Focus on how your son achieved whatever he accomplished, vs. how closely his interests are aligned with your interests.
Always do your best...and you will never have regrets.
As long as you do your best, we will always be supportive of your decisions.
It's your life; we are just here to guide you along the way.
I am proud to be your parent, even on the days when you come up a bit short on achieving all of your goals.
I think your preparation went a long way to put you in position to win.
Always consider both sides of an issue before you make your decision.
Be willing to find the best way, instead focusing on getting your own way.
Listening is the first step to being understood by others when it's your time to speak.
If you want to get what you want, it usually helps if you try to help others get what they want.
You attract more bees with honey than vinegar.
Do unto others as you would like to be treated yourself.
Half of what you do is how smart you are; the other half is how you do it. You need both in equal measure to succeed in life.
Be specific with your praise beyond "great job." (I.e., I think you did a great job...listening to everyone's thoughts before making a decision.)
I am a big fan of how hard you work when you realize you are facing an important task that will require a bigger investment of your time and energy.
