- Don't discipline them when they irritate you
- When they are in trouble, validate their feelings but don't give in
- That goes against what you and I believe
- You're right it's not fair, and it's not fair when I let you off the hook so many times
- You have to earn our trust but until then I need to check in on you
- Growth involves some pain
- Show God how thankful you are for you intelligence and study hard
