Adoration
Moms and dads are big characters in other people's lives. How's your acting? How is your being?
You're famous in your family.
Don't disappoint your fans!

Balancing gently
People don't need to enact each extreme to find a resting place. Because we have the ability to imagine, and remember and to plan, here is an idea. Think of what too much noise would be—too much talking, too much background noise, too many wind chimes, too many power tools.
What would be too much silence? No running water, no bird song, no fan, no one to ask you questions, at all.
Too much talking can be as harmful as no talking at all. Approach the balance from the quiet side.

Being gentle
Children whose parents are gentle will understand what that's good for.
Be the sort of person you want your child to be.
It's better for the cat, if you do that.

Safe inside
If it happens that there are dangerous things outside the house, try to keep the inside safe and comfortable.
Happy, safe and comfortable

Peace where you are
| Resting is fine. Waiting can be good. Stretching out at home and being still might be the best response to much of life.
Find some peace |  |

Flexible uses
 | Creativity and intelligence are seen in the ability to use a tool or an object for something other than its intended purpose. If you see your child (or your cat) doing something "wrong," set rules aside long enough to consider principles. |
Sleep is important. Curiosity leads to discovery and to new connections. Shade can come from things other than trees or roofs.
Let your mind leap and frolic.
