• I intend to teach my child the importance of confidence and the shame of arrogance.
• I intend for “no” to “mean “No.”
• I intend to show my child how to see the beauty in what other

• I intend to lead by example.
• I intend to be a better parent than I am a friend, because friends
come and go, even good ones, and you often need to be popular to be someone’s friend.
