 %PARENTING CHILD INDEPENDENCE SELF CARE CONFIDENCE 881214

Parenting  is the process of leading  children  from
dependence into independence.

Independence is characterized by self confidence and
taking good care of self in a communally responsible way.

Parenting is the process of leading children to have
self     confidence    and   to   take   good  care     of
themselves responsibly.

Parents  who seek to have grateful children  may  be
more   concerned  with giving their children things to  be
grateful  for,    than with leading them to have the  self
confidence and ability to take good care of themselves.

Giving  children many things to be grateful for  may
lead to loss of self confidence and profound   dependence.
Gifts of many things to children bind  the children rather
than liberate them.
