The Best Life


As parents, we all want to give our children "the best life" possible. We want them to have it better than we did. Though material provisions are helpful—and some are necessary—there is so much more to give to a child in order to give them "the best life."

A child needs to be given:

Love, unconditionally

Creativity, boundlessly

Criticism, scarcely

Encouragement, abundantly

Opportunity, frequently

Autonomy, gradually

Responsibility, appropriately

Time, sacrificially

Affection, endlessly

Gifts, thoughtfully

Accolades, proudly

Guidance, daily

Discipline, necessarily

Advice, wisely

Praise, specifically

Habits, intentionally

Truth, unequivocally

Compassion, authentically

Boundaries, protectively

A voice, unreservedly
